[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents are the same. They live in Paris and want us to move there, without considering that:
1. We cannot find jobs there!
2. Even if we did, it would mean a pay cut that meant
3. We could not afford a bilingual school (state schools are not all that)
4. And we could not afford a nice place in the city which means that the traffic and commute would be much worse than here!

Yet they suggest it ALL the time. Can I join you in your head-banging?[/quote]

Yikes! Sounds like the "It's All About Me" onesie should be made in adult sizes ;-)

What I find most troubling about these situations is that the GPs are not treating the younger couple with children as a family unit and respecting that there's also a son or daughter IL who have their own wishes for their families as well as parents to contend with. I can't imagine going to my DH and saying, "honey, we need to move. My mom said so and she doesn't care if you don't like their neighborhood-- you'll learn to love it as much as they do, of course!!-- or will have to take out a massive loan to make it work. It's just what she wants so she can visit GC every day!" [/quote]
