[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No - the job can wait another three years[/quote] Ah, but it won't. As noted, this is a singular chance.[/quote] Then you suck it up and realize part (most?) of being a parent is putting your kid's wants and needs before your own sometimes. There will be a different opportunity in 3 years. If kid was 8, okay. But at 15 they deserve the stability of high school in one place, barring exceedingly extenuating circumstances. "This is a cool job opportunity i really want" isn't an extenuating circumstance. I mean, no one's going to die if you force them to move, but be prepared for an extremely painful and rocky 3 years. They will likely want to go to college "back home" so your point about better instate options is moot unless you're going to force them to go in state where you end up. Sounds like a recipe for potentially damaging that relationship.[/quote]
