[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Both DH and I were Feds. We left on our own accord this summer. Kids in elementary school. Moved to an area closer to family. Summer was rough for the kids, but once school started, their lives got back to normal. Best decision we ever made was to leave DC. We miss our friends, but so glad we are out of there. [/quote]

My friend moved over Thanksgiving a few years ago - her kids were 13, 11 and 7. She said it worked really well to move during the school year and she was glad that by summer they were all well entrenched in their new routines and friend groups.

I moved from DC for my husband’s job a decade ago. I’m still a fed but in the field. I really liked DC but think it would be very different now and also didn’t have the experience of knowing the ins and outs of raising kids there. Our older daughter was almost 3 at the time and our younger daughter wasn’t born yet (she’s almost 9). It was really hard leaving and moves are no fun. My husband was excited for the move and I wasn’t so that was hard on our marriage too. [/quote]
