[quote=Anonymous]I almost can't believe what I'm reading. All these folks making so many sacrifices for the children teaches them a sh*tty lesson. THEY are running the show and sometimes, that's NOT a good example. Adults need to run the show. Look, if the family finances or parents' careers dictate that the family move, then it has to be considered. All the stress and financial difficulty ages a person and what will that make them into? A nasty, impatient, resentful person. Is THAT good for the kids just to stay in their current school? Think about that... Sometimes, Parents need to put THEMSELVES first for the sake of the peace in the family. Children are resilient - and who REALLY keeps in touch with all their HS friends? Anyway, in this age of social media, my daughter keeps in touch with everyone she's ever met in school so it's different.

I'm in this position now. Daughter is going into senior year and my commute is killing me in terms of time and expense. It's limiting our abilities financially and psychologically, I've been doing this for YEARS and I'm miserable. I get angry easily. I'm not happy with life. If we move, T]the school district is in the same state and is MUCH better than the one she's in now. My commute will be much shorter and we can have extra money to do things. She can drive to see her old school friends or zoom with them every day.

I have relatives that moved their children during HS (even in senior year) and guess what? They're better than fine. One has her own business and the other is in college. They have thriving social lives and friends all over the east coast.

I think it's all how you frame it. If you make it a drama, the kids will do that too.[/quote]
