[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We moved from the suburbs to the city with tweens because we were all miserably bored there and thought the city would push them to grow more (as indeed it has).

However, in your situation - where that's the lifestyle you know you want and where your kids would seemingly be getting a lot more time / attention from you - it seems like it could be a good change; if I'd have the spare time to do stuff like build crazy projects in a backyard workshop I probably wouldn't have been so eager to leave. Likewise if we'd had any desire to have > 2 kids.

Kids are malleable; I have a friend who took his 3rd grader out of a TT school and moved them to a suburban public a few years ago, they were dreading the conversation with the kid but it turned out they didn't love their TT anyway and were ready for a change, despite leaving their friends behind.[/quote]

OP here. Thanks for sharing that. Would you know if your friend was ultimately happy with the move and how has the kid done since?[/quote]
