[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have been here six years and have no friends and can't find a babysitter then the fault is with you not in u your stars.  Your parents do not need your permission or blessing to move.  You have no friends because nobody likes people who wallow in self pity.[/quote]

OMG back off (not OP here).

I can relate to OP, and I'm a native but my family moved away.  It's hard to have little ones when your work is grueling and you have ZERO family support.  I'm a lawyer, but DH works the most hours (75/week, Mon-Sat).  So in addition to being a lawyer, I have to do all the drop offs, pick ups, dr appointments (about 1-3/week due to several medical issues), and I do all the cooking, cleaning, pay the bills, do yard work - I do EVERYTHING.  And I am too freaking exhausted to even put myself out there to go on mom dates.  We have no babysitter set up either because one got a FT job and we recently had to let a long-time nanny go due to performance issues.

Obviously, many of you have no idea, probably because you do have family support, or a lot more time on your hands or can just throw money at the problem.  Well some of us do not have that luxury.[/quote]
