[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously if the charter didn’t work out we would have a backup plan. This region has good schools overall.

My main concern is uprooting the children (eldest would be 11) for what feels idealistic in some ways but sad in others. Currently we’re close to a set of grandparents. It’s not a perfect relationship for me but the grandparent-grandkid relationship is good. We’d be pretty far. And the move would be to make life more interesting for us (an affordable city) rather than the charming but slightly boring small town we’re in now. DH is mostly bored and feels limited, our town we have a great location, nice neighbors, architecture is charming. But kids love it. We’ve been there 5 years.[/quote]

Don’t move away from grandparents. Especially with 4 kids! It’s nice to have that support system and additional positive adult role models since you and your DH are clearly outnumbered (especially if you go back to work)[/quote]

OP - grandparents don’t provide much support. We moved here to spend time with them but they mostly work all the time. We only see them 1-2 times a month pre-Covid. Hence why we are considering leaving. They will be sad though.[/quote] 1-2 times a month sounds like quite a bit.  How much were you expecting? [/quote]
