Little Emperors
maxx:
Willy that all depends on you.If you don't play into there game.Then the game is no fun.And they will be alright.After they try 4 or 5 times to get you to play the game.Kids need to know there place in the world.Once they learn there place.They are usually ok.The main thing with a kid is be consistant.If they do something.And it isn't ok with you this time.The next time they do it.remind them that it isn't still ok.
David E Your wife needs a intervention.In the worse possible way.If she is changing the emperor shoes.That means she has done it for years.My suggestion is talk to her and explain that that kind of behavior is not tolerated in Australia.Or any other western country.And that if she wants him to succeed in life in Australia.He is going to have to learn some manners and respect.Explain to your wife.That if her son continues with this kind of behavior when he is a adult.Somebody else is going to set him straight.And it won't be a pleasent experience for the kid.
Check your PM.

You know Maxx talking about the Shoe thing (maybe I'm luckier than I think) Qing use to do the "bring the slippers to me", but now she has her Son doing it. As soon As I walk into the door , I hear Mama yell in Chinese and surprise.. here "He" come with my Slippers. So they do LISTEN to Mom on certain things, if it include "Me" I assume. Now If he can do that for me, than he also can learn to do it for Mommy.. especially at 11 yrs. old.
David, if you have Skype.. maybe Qing could talk to your Wife and simplify your Life a little.. at least with Ming. Let me know in a PM, if you wish.

We have several options, including a family reunion visa when Ming gets her Permanent Residency in December. So there is no real Immigration impediment for him to come here to study.

I suppose I am showing my nasty side ( for a good cause tho) in suggesting
there might be a way for Immigration to say No, rather then you having to carry the can ;)

Thinking aloud... Seems that while your difficulties are with young 'McHorrible',
you have time before he returns to vandalise your life, to work with your
lovely wife.
Here in NZ there are specific teams that deal with asian issues
within our district health boards.
I've attached a pdf presentation of one such group.
Meanwhile maybe you could persuade your wife/you to attend such a seminar
( explain that it is so her son can have a better life in OZ ).
They are VERY familiar with the little prince fiasco, and being mandarin/english speakers
and somewhat distant from the drama, they can be very helpful.
They say you can get the Girl out of China, but you will never get the China
out of the Girl. But this might help :)

Can't see that happening Willy..
Underneath that combative cockney front ...there is a kind heartedness...
And that's what they will spot... and appreciate, in some oriental fashion
:)
