[quote=Anonymous]My husband has the opportunity to work and train up north for a year, starting in the summer of 2021. We have decided it would be the best decision for him and his career to take this. However, we have two small children, our kids will be 3 and 18 months at that time. We are trying to figure out the move with the kids and what would be best for the kids and also my self.

Option 1: the whole family moves up north, we rent a small condo and put the other stuff in storage. 
Pros: the entire family is together 
Cons: my support system is where we currently live and we know no one in the new town.

Option 2: I stay with the kids in our current location and my husband geo Bach’s, we would take the train or drive to see him every few weeks and he would fly to see us every few weeks. 
Pros: my entire support system is here. 
Cons: the family is separated.

Other factors: 
We could afford for him to get a second small apartment up north. (I am a SAHM) 
our oldest would be staring preschool next fall as well.
The job/training is only for a year, so we could end up back in our current area, or up north, or out west after the job ends.

We are missing an third option? What would you do?

I know it’s a while away, but we are just trying to figure out how it will look for the family.
