[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids—an [b]8th grader[/b] and a [b]high school junior[/b]. I need to relocate to the DC area next summer for work; otherwise I would have to commute from Connecticut (four days a week in office), which isn’t sustainable. My wife’s job is fully remote.

[u]One option is for myself and my 8th grader to move to DC next summer[/u] so he can start high school there, while my wife stays in CT with our older child until he graduates from high school(or probably finishing his college application?). This minimizes disruption for both kids, but my younger one would see his mom only during holidays and school breaks.

The other option is for the whole family to move next summer, but that would force my older child to switch schools for senior year, which could really disrupt his college application process.

Any suggestions on how to approach this decision?[/quote]

Keep both kids with mom and you commute back and forth as much as you can and then move after the HS junior graduates since he just has one more year of school except if he says he's ok moving and his credits transfer so he can graduate on time.

What does your wife want?  As a mom I wouldn't be ok with that for my youngest. [/quote]
