My husband is an Australian and he has a 13-year-old son so we decided that I would be the one to “take the leap” and move to Australia. I’ve been here now since August of 2005 and I seem to be getting more miserable and jaded as time goes by.

On a daily basis I face the comments and criticizm, snide little remarks about “dumb-arsed, rude, loud, obnoxious Americans”, whether it’s directed at me or not, it’s really starting to piss me off. They can’t see their own faults, and how much they resemble the above, for all the venom they spew.

My apologies, my post wasn’t exactly nice. I just needed to vent…
