[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of our family lives across the country and we are contemplating making a move to be closer thanks to Covid. DH can do his job from anywhere now, and I will likely be laid off anyway. Kids are going into 4th grade and 1st grade and I am starting to feel like it’s now or never.

Wondering if anyone has made a move to another city with kids in elementary school and how they did assimilating into a new school and making friends. I know kids are resilient and they will be fine, but it has been a tough 4 months and they definitely don’t see this coming. Neither of our families live in the town where we grew up so we would go not knowing anyone other than our parents and siblings and cousins who are great humans but much younger.

I am a bit worried that even though our kids will make friends DH and I will have a much harder time if we aren’t working in an office and at my kids’ age I am guessing most parents’ social circles are fairly set at this point (I know ours is in DC).

The main reason we would be moving is to be closer to family, have better weather/quality of life and a lower cost of living.

Has anyone done this and how did it turn out?[/quote]

Because you are moving to be closer to family will you be moving to one of your hometowns?[/quote]
