[quote=Anonymous]I think you probably don’t know as much about your daughter’s life as you think you do. “They could work anywhere” sounds like something my mom would say, which couldn’t be further from the truth. It become apparent in recent years that my parents, as well intentioned as they are, don’t even begin to comprehend the complexities of modern parenting and work life balance. I won’t get into it because I’m not going to successfully teach it here but it has a lot to do with the Internet, cost of living, inflation, shifting societal norms, and stuff like that. Also your language implies that you might still view your daughter as part of your family unit. “We”, “no one,” etc…. She’s not. You have two different families now. You can still be quite close but the shift needs to happen mentally. If you’re all so close and you’re so resourced you need to move near them. And then do it again in 5 years. Or at least talk about it. [/quote]
