my stepson couldn't wait to go back to the phils, he was virtually begging to go back to his aunt, friends and sunny weather
it depends on how old the kids are, what their family life is like in the phils, but if their young I'm sure they would miss their mom, as much as theit mom misses them
you would be able to get child benefit, and maybe tax creds depending on your income.
All of us here (Filipinas) who got married to a briton has loveones that have left behind in the Philippines either son/daughter/parents/friends family and relatives the fact that it is the biggest sacrifice we have all made just to be with the man we chooses to live with for the rest of our life but that's how it all goes for anyone who decide for it to come over here...But the the world has now the best technology way of communication just like the Internet...for sure anyone who had been somehow separated by distance and time will be reunited once and again....in the right time.
Filipina a born survivor!

he was 17 1/2, got him here b4 he was 18, after 18 its a lot harder to get them here, he missed his friends too much.. we kept him here long enough to get him ilr. then let him go back to uni in the phils. didn't like being here that much, he was always counting the days to go back.
but our daughter who's 8 now, came to the uk when she was 4 1/2, no longer speaks tag, is doing well at school, and the uk is her home.
what worries my misses is when our daughter is older , she will get bullied for being a foreigner. told her to take her back to learning Taekwondo

Tell her not to worry, coz UK is a multi cultural country...
