[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a good friend that recently moved and they were back in 6 months.

Reasons given:

The job environments were not interesting or challenging so both parents felt they would be professionally unfulfilled.
Didn't feel they were meeting people they could relate to.
The mom specifically said to me she was the only woman in her (large) workplace who was a working mom.  She didn't like this.  (I wouldn't either.)

This is an anonymous forum, so let's just keep it real.  In a small-town, the people are statistically less likely to be well-educated and progressive in politics, if you care about such things.  Women are less likely to work with kids, if you care about such things.  People are likely to have had their kids younger, if you care about such things.  This does not mean they are not all lovely people and it wouldn't be a great way of life.  It just is what it is.

But those are the kinds of things I would be thinking about.[/quote]

I'm the first PP who is moving this summer.  I agree with this a lot which is why we chose an area of the country where we're more likely to find like-minded people and where being a working mom is not unusual.  I can think of several of places, west coast, northeast, etc where the pace of life can be slower without having to give up the social aspects that we enjoy.[/quote]

Probably a college town, I'm guessing?  If you're willing to share, I'm interested to hear.[/quote]
