[quote=Anonymous]We did 'the move' because DH got laid off and needed to relocate to philadelphia to find work in his field. We were between nanny shares and were having a hard time finding another good childcare arrangement. Also, we have family in PA and knew we wanted to have another kid, and it was hard not having them nearby. So I talked to my boss and was approved to work remotely (HUGE surprise but so awesome!) and we sold our DC condo (not a huge profit in this market, but not a loss either). We've been renting a giant house for less than the condo mortgage, and are so much happier being near family - they are a huge part of our life (we were coming up to visit at least once a month anyways). Most of all, we are incredibly happy with our childcare options for our baby and toddler - lots of very, very good daycares that are all extremely affordable. It was so easy to find a sitter in our neighborhood. Yes we miss DC - our friends, the culture, living in the city (we're in the 'burbs here) but for now this is what we needed to do for us. [/quote]
