[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A child doesn't analyze things that way. You also seem to infer that Santa Barbara, California is preferable to Kokomo, Indiana for some reason. How would you know this, since you never had a chance to compare?[/quote]

It was preferable for collegiate opportunities, outdoor lifestyle, and proximity to family.  You cannot put a dollar value on those things.

It was definitely the right choice for our family.  We all sigh with relief that we didn't end up moving (laughed about it last Christmas when we were all together again).  I am grateful that my parents included us in those discussions.  I value my relationship with my grandparents and my cousins so highly.  I would not have that to the same extent if we had moved, and my parents may not have realized how important we felt those relationships were if they hadn't asked.

Don't get me wrong--if it had been a clear cut, "This is absolutely what is best for our family, no questions" situation, my parents would have packed us up and moved us.  It wasn't clear cut though.  My parents saw benefits to both, and wanted our opinions.

Every family and every move is different.  This is what worked for my family.[/quote]
