I enjoyed watching. Let me count the ways travelling helps the mind, 1. It shakes up the status quo, 2. It increases creativity, 3. It gives you a different perspective, 4. It boosts self esteem and confidence, 5. It is an act of self care. Abeg, ignore the naysayers. I pray God continues to rain down blessings upon you and your family.
Amen. Thank you ❤️
@@AdaezesSpace you are welcome
As a professional who has lived in so many countries.
Dont be scared of making hard decisions to relocate again when you tired.
Because change is constant.
She was a health visitor, we work with families with children under five. Sophia will be fine, it is normal development for all the changes. Take her to play groups at children centres.
I usually don't comment, but I must say that I love how honest and real you are. You're very relatable. Im happy for you and your family that you are all adjusting well in your new country and looking forward to new adventures ahead 👏
Why do people feel the need to say...'I usually don't comment".?
Just comment if you want to naauu.....lol
Hi Adeze. Suggestion on buying back some time. Try looking for a laundry service if they have that where you are. They can wash and fold all your clothes. That way all you Donis put it away at home. That will give some family time back. Also, maybe someone doing deep cleaning twice a month. That way you clean to maintain. Lastly, you can order groceries online and just pick up or deliver to your house. Just a couple things that work for us.
Nice. Thank you for sharing ❤️
I got married and moved to Canada 9yrs ago, had my 3kids here and I can totally relate with many of the things you're going through. I've visited Nigeria twice in the last 9yrs and both times I couldn't wait to come back to a sane climate .So it's a case of love but don't really like😊
I burst into laughter when Sophia popped behind you😂 I was like, "See your little handbag." She's in more of your videos now😊.
You have an amazing hubby. I’m glad you all are adjusting well
You've articulated your experiences so well! Good luck and God's best to you and your family.
It's refreshing to hear about your impressions of the UK. Getting insights from someone new to the country offers a fresh perspective. Often, being in one place for an extended period can make us overlook its unique aspects.
Absolutely enjoyed this video. I think having a mindset shift is very critical when relocating or just taking on anything new such as a new job. I relocated in early adulthood and didn't have a mindset shift till much later and once i did, i noticed i started enjoying my life more and things were working out better for me. Lovely video!!
Great perspective. Thank you ❤️
I wouldn't miss Ada's storytelling for anything😍💃
Ah swear I didn’t know I loved gist like this before 😂
@@mremble ahahaha
I'm telling you, for me it's therapeutic.
I'm telling you, for me it's therapeutic.
HELLO THERE MY YOUNG LADY, THANK GOD FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. PLEASE, FROM TIME TO TIME, HAVE A SIT DOWN WITH THE KIDS, AND ASK THEM QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW THEY ARE DOING/ WHAT THEY ARE FEELING. THEY MIGHT NOT DEEM IT NECESSARILY TO TALK ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR MINDS. YOU CAN SENSE BY KORA'S REACTION PER THE PHONE CALL WITH YOUR MOM. JUST RANDOMLY SIT THEM DOWN, AND HAVE A CHITCHAT WITH THEM, FEEL THEIR PULSES. KUDOS ON HOW YOU'RE HANDLING EVERY THING! MORE OF GOD'S WISDOM AND GRACE. GOD BLESS.
Amen. Thank you so much ❤️
You are adjusting so well❤❤❤. Teamwork keeps the train running no matter the encounter👌👌👌👌. Makeup looks beautiful too❤
Love this video so much! And for those people they don't watch all your videos obviously for them to think that way..
More grace 🎉❤
Having the inner peace... The peace that surpasses anything is very important. As long as you are happy with your family that's the best gift ever. How I wish other married couples can help each other overseas and not let women to do everything... House work is too overwhelming they don't understand and having kids on top it's too much to handle as women... May God keep blessing you family❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Your skin is truly popping
Abeg put your weather inside a container and ship it to me
I need this glow😂
Am glad the kids are adjusting well 😊nice sharing your experience with us ❤makeup on point
Congratulations,i still share in your joy Amen 🙏.
I appreciate your honesty, GOD BLESS YOU.
Amen. Thank you ❤️
Loved this!!!! Mindset shift is everything!!!! And honestly we are allowed to change our minds and do whats best for us
Hey Ada, I’m a little bit relieved you are doing great in the UK. I think you need to have a talk with your kids about the the change and be patient with them. Also as for the social worker please I beg you in the name of Jesus don’t fall for their smile and friendly attitude be very careful what you say how you say it and what you do and also what the kids say. Love you ❤
THIS IS THE COMMENT!! Please do not fall for their smiles and friendly demeanor 🥹🙏🏾🙌🏾
True
Exactly she should not involve sosicalworkers, as they can do anything and thos lady here is in her fantasy dream lands she got no clue about how things are here, she is in denial and maybe like cognitive dissonance she is in,
You're both a really hardworking couple. I admire your attitude towards your current situation especially when you said you see it as an adventure.
Thank you so much!
Adaeze the story teller, I enjoyed listening to you
This is so insightful...Thank you for sharing my senior name sake❤
I enjoy your story telling❤❤ . You and your husband are doing well with the children
This video could pass for a makeup tutorial.
I get someone to clean my bathrooms for me so I can rest. I found them through recommendations. I’m glad you’re thriving and more at peace. Sometimes you may not know what you’re missing until you relocate. All the best Ada.
I dont even know what to say. I've never lived anywhere outside Nigeria.
But from what you've said, I hear dedication, I hear hard work, I hear consistency, and I also hear intentionality. You all will be fine, I believe it gets easier with time and Sophia? The beautiful Sophia? The bubbly contagious laughter, Sophia? The smart Sophia we all called granny when she was 2 because of how matured she behaved.
She will be fine she will thrive she is never going to be behind.
❤❤❤good paradigm shift ! Peace of mind, social amenities and opportunities is the key thing. No regrets from now till infinity……
You have said it all the PEACE of mind is the most important. U have all the basic amenities. Steady light, fresh air, good health care & weather, calm environment etc. Above all, human rights and respect from people around you irrespective of their race or colour (If u know what I mean). I looked at you and Nelo with a side eye, when you said I don't want to relocate abroad. Plenty of opportunity dey here 😊. Just the fresh air alone and calmness is okay for me. Nigeria is too busy and noisy abeg.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sis, your girls will adjust so well and get used to being here. My family moved here when i was in my early teenage years. I found it a little hard in the first 2yrs but after, my siblings and i are fully adjusted.
Thank you❤️
Ada I just like the way you gist ❤❤❤
I enjoyed watching this video😊. You are all doing well & with time, it will get better & better🙏. As for buying some time and you are somewhat not so sure of getting from online, do talk to the NHS personal that visited you. She will assist you to get some of the best, because, it has to do with your well being & comfort, okay💕. All the best👍.
You guys are settling in well and I love that you are taking vitamin D supplement. Ahų mgbakasi translates to feeling irritable.
Love your videos. Make up looks grear. Glad the kids are adjusting well. Sophia will definitely catch up.
Totally agree with buying back time. Grateful to God that I found a cleaner on Facebook marketplace that comes in every week to clean. She does an excellent job. Someone once said I'm wasting money paying for a cleaner in obodo oyibo but my dear its a small price to pay for my sanity
I'm happy for you 😀
I'm guessing Cora is finding it hard articulating exactly how she feels. She probably misses Nigeria but still prefers the Uk.
Good video, l am happy for you and your family ❤
It can be challenging for kids to adjust but they interact well with others. Sophia will adjust too.
This is so entertaining and enjoyable thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
In this video it’s overwhelmingly obvious how much love is shared between you and your husband and how much you love your children
Your care for their physical mental and emotional wellbeing
May the lord continue to strengthen you
Thank you for being open and honest
It’s truly refreshing
Amen. Thank you❤️
The other thing as well that gives you peace is that the systems work and kids are well looked after here.
These days even when you’re relaxing you feel anxiety. I had to buy a book about anxiety. Then the book taught me to use the anxiety to be like a constant reminder of what needs to be done.
Just be calm & be happy you’re alive & healthy and are making constant money.
Kids will be fine just take care of yourselves so you guys can be healthy & alive for the kids.
Just some suggestions
Try to make one day a slow day. Or else you 2 will burn out.
Saturday doesn't have to be filled with so many chores.
Divide the house into zones . Clean those zones on different days.
Mornings can be made easier by making all the girls take a bath at night.
Good to hear about your experience and I’m glad you’re settling in well😊😊. About the so-called seasonal affective disorder, not many of us has experienced that😁. About settling, it’s usually easier if one comes in to a good-paying job. I came in as an ED Dr and even got paid without starting my shift on the shop floor😃. Hubby and the boys came in 10 weeks after. It’s been 5 years plus and no regrets 👌🏾
My Doc, I see you🥰
@@Dee___..Hello, lovely sister 😊😊. It was pleasant to hear a fairly good experience from a new resident for once. No be every time, UK this, that😂😂
Abroad is work work , you guys arange your self very well that is good
Norwich is a peaceful city if u are an introvert and more so u can make it lively for urself by going out also… and cost of living is cheaper compared to other places in the West Midlands and all. I have been here for 2yrs and I don’t regret it
Moving to an entirely new country is not easy, not to talk of moving with a family. You are really doing great! The Lord will grant you ease ❤
Amen. Thank you ❤️
You and your husband are doing well with the children!
You are so consistent
Change is the only constant thing in life, change your mind/life as often as necessary/ needed.
I just love your story telling 😅, " Am not suffering, i can't even lie" got me. You're so interesting 😊
Adaeze I think you can try getting a virtual assistant to help with your RUclips things.
They don’t have to be with you, you can just contract things to them. I know upwork is a good place to check but you can check for more platforms local to the uk
I'd consider that. Thanks ❤️
Nice video beautiful Adaeze, more grace
Thank you ❤️
You’re very diligent & passionate in your own way. Especially with your wonderful makeup ma’am ! I’m trying to follow but I know I won’t get it. & yet my background is Civil Engineering & now I’m in IT.
I’m so happy there’s men that actually enjoy helping their wives.
Notification gang🎉
Wow! That was so thoughtful of NHS to pay you that visit, I am sure it was very insightful and therapeutic. When I came to the U.S. nobody even send me lol!
I don't think the US has anything like such but I also think the UK does it to Guage the type of people that are in their country. I'm happy for her. I type into this virtual blessing. Can't wait to move to the UK as well.
@@followGreatnessit's nothing to do with seeing the type of people in their country. Every child in the UK of every race has a health visitor, they are assigned when the child is born and they visit as needed until the child is school age
@@vickyvicvicc her daughter wasn't born in the UK .all the same good for her. I tap into the ease of movement. Amen.
Ask to be sign posted to the local family hubs they are really very good. Call your health visitors duty line and ask them for where the local hubs are 😊
It’s most likely you were seen by a health visitor, they work with children under age 5.
I’m sorry that you’re experiencing this with Sofia 💗
I’m sure your health visitor would have recommended a range of things you can do with her. - but if you check your local council website I’m sure you’ll find a few clubs / activities you can attend with her, which will give her the opportunity to engage with other children.
Soft play centres are always a good idea ❤
I’m pleased to hear the elder siblings are doing well in school.
I watch you from the cayman islands, always look forward for your videos, when are you going to to do a grocery shopping haul.
Waiting.
First time here! From US
Doing a great a job!
Thank you ❤️
You are blessed with a beautiful family.
Thank you ❤️
Hey 👋🏽There are a lot of cleaning apps that help with lots of daily chores to like ( task rabbit & fantastic service )
Yes I definitely enjoyed watching, you are such a good story teller 😊, thank you for sharing your experience with us 🤗
Thank you ☺️
Sophia is extremely good, these are normal changes when a child experiences relocation these changes are common especially because of her age and stage development ,she is still in her EYFS( early years foundation stage). Secondly, when you start getting familiar with parents in your children school they might refer you to a local cleaner, make sure your spirit goes with the person before employing you can decide to create a routine with this person but never the children parent.They normal charge you at a cheaper rate because it is word of mouth and it's local. Alternatively, you can download apps for cleaner in your area and review their ratings before making use of them. Welcome to UK..... Experience a different world. I hope you have a smooth ride at the most ....All the best
Thank you❤️
If you are looking for a country with multi language to migrate to, please consider Luxembourg. The safest country in Europe. They speak English, French and Dutch. Cost of living is high but they are the highest payer of wages in Europe
I hope you are praying hard and appreciating your husband every sec of your life girl, my husband on his days off is seating on tiktok the whole day, I came from work, pick the kids from school and when I get home I will start fixing something to eat and immediately run out to drop my kids to their sports program. We will come back and he wouls still be seating where we left him😮
You both need to have a talk. Some might not know that you need a hand until you tell them.
I've been having that talk for the last 10 years, so I decided to give it a rest😂😂😂😂
It's well, just try to get a help.
So you don't breakdown
Hi Adeaza, the skin condition on your arm, please ask your doctor to do a blood test for type 2 diebetes or pre-diebetes. Even if your skin clears up, please get tested to be safe.❤❤❤❤
As a retired person totally agree life is tough in the UK compared to 30 40 years ago. Now that Brexit is in effect it is even worse
You guys are adjusting well ooo ,May the Almighty God continue to uphold you in Jesus name ❤
Amen. Thank you ❤️
You are great in Storytelling😇
I enjoyed watching this and love how you and husband are adjusting to the new life.
Thank you so much 😀
Love youuuu❤
Ada please can you do a video on culture shocks you got in the uk
Welcome to Diaspora life, you have to do everything yourself , no househelp , no driver, extra curriculum activities for kids, no cleaners/ once a month cleaner. It’s like you’re a wife, mother, househelp, driver, cheerleader to your kids, and also yourself as individual. But you will get use too, in such a way when you see others @ home, is like the waste too much time. Stay strong
Many things gives you peace in obodoyibo like security with some other things
I love how real and truthful you are. Living abroad has its challenges but i believe the pros and much than the cons
I can relate to the every minute reports and judging of irrelevant cases😅
You guys are working well together as a couple. Kudos
Thank you ❤️
Ada, can you try Africa Church community. That’s how you get to see our people easier around you.
It's probably too painful for cora to talk about Nigeria. If something is painful I would not want to talk about my sadness.
life changes jare.... things are chaning and we also need to adjust.
It's the airport breeze gave Korra accent lollll
Relocation isn't easy. It must be stressful driving 45mins honestly.
🥹
Q
😂😂😂Airport gave Kora accent😂😂
Mummy Eva is mimicking me hahaha.😅😅😅 my kids for you.
Ohhh…is he working in d same company he was working wit in Nigeria. 😅my husband too got 1st class in accounting. He’s just like ur hubby. Extremely focused.
Hi.. more love to you my beautiful sister
I can relate....live where there a few blacks. Was quite hard to adjust. Whenever I see a black I say hi regardless of the country...Whether u are Nigerian, Zimbabwean or kenyan
Come to Switzerland
Maybe you can try reading to Sophia and other academic games
You should come to US. The sky is the limit & you can grow so much. You can be whatever you want to be especially with your thirst for learning. Especially since you like to study and learn new things. I feel like in US the political environment needs an injection of energy.
Kids needs to learn African & US history so we make sure to improve Africa, continue to work forge & together with African Americans. I think together we can be a formidable force.
Well-done
With all this, I'm grateful you're married to a man who appears to pull his weight. I can't imagine having all the domestic weight on you with 3 young girls. I really wish your family all the best, success for your husband in his driving test, and success for the girls in acclimatising. You've got this Mama!
Amen. Thank you ❤️
One of the very Best way, is to go to a foreign Country, SAVED your money, buy things that are necessary, for example, Coco butler, can be use just as Makeup, again, saved your money, return home started a Business, EVEN though I know UK does not allowed for their currency leave the Country, So, in your Country, open a Bank account, that way can wire funds when have your paycheck ETC.
That UK for u we say OK all the time 😮😅lol
Abroad is work work❤❤❤❤
Middle where? Middle what?? 😂😂@Adaeze don't push it. You are too adventurous 😂
No mind her ooo..😅
Hi Adeze have you checked if you actually need to do a driving test? I’m asking this because I have a few people I know who came from Zimbabwe and they just filled in a form submitted it and were given a UK driving license without taking a test. I’m glad you are all settling well❤️❤️❤️❤️
They don't rate Nigeria like that o😭 Plus Nigeria drives on a different side of the road. That may be part of it.
Oh no, that’s so annoying😢sorry ❤
❤❤❤
The UK is freezing cold....food is rubbish and GMO ....indoors all the time like a prisoner
You couldn't have said this any better..who wants to come to this miserable country.
She will soon learn and run away.😅😅😅
😀
😀😀 you saying that you are waiting for summer to catch people outside. You are to funny.
😂
Congratulations mami
Thank you so much
