[quote=Anonymous]OP, you said child is 12. Was your child just invited to train at the Karoli Ranch? If so, I might entertain the idea of the child relocating to TX, with perhaps one parent, if you can afford to maintain two households and a few commutes for the other parent to visit. If your child is not an elite level Olympic contender in the training window for the next Olympics, then I would not even consider the idea. The only 3 sports I can think of where a 12 year old would be in that window are womens gymnastics, womens figure skating, and swimming. Swimming can be taken care of in the greater DC area, so that leaves gymnastics and skating as sports where a 12 year old might need to relocate to realize a realistic Olympic dream. Those are the only two sports in very, very limited scenarios where your idea would make sense. From your husband's reaction, I am guessing your child is in neither of those sports. Any other move is just a silly, bad idea.[/quote]
