[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok now that you've finally admitted where home is, OP, what is this really all about?

Princeton is 180 miles straight shot on I 95 to D.C. 3 hrs 16 minutes of you stay in the speed limit.

If you missed the fam that much you could leave RIGHT NOW and get there in time for lunch, easy.

Time to fess up.  It's an old boyfriend or affair partner that you want to be closer to isn't it?[/quote]

what is wrong with you? it's not just so easy for most people to drive 7 hours rt on any given day - and princeton is further once you factor in.... traffic! you are really a nasty piece of work[/quote]

Also, Princeton and surrounds have beautiful countryside in multiple directions, nothing at all like Alexandria and anything near the beltway.  If your kids and DH didn’t love it there, there’s something wrong with them![/quote]

Well yes Princeton is very nice.  [b]But it's just as expensive as where OP lives right now.  The cost of living is not lower in Princeton.

So all four of her reasons don't make sense: it's not about family; it's not about traffic; it's not about cost of living; it's not about liking "snow."

That's why she's not getting any buy in from her spouse.

She's not telling him, or us, the real reason she wants to move back home.

Very few things would make someone want to uproot their entire family for these kinds of excuses when the two areas are largely comparable in almost every significant way, and so close that it's a simple trip up I 95 for a weekend visit now and then.

She complains she doesn't like her commute.  Why does she think her commute would be any easier in the Princeton area?  Has she tried, you know, looking for a job with a better commute where she is living now?

Look OP deliberately hid that it was Princeton until PP guessed it.

I beg to differ and so does this online COL calculator:

The housing stock in Princeton is much nicer:

OP here, thank you for this. The people saying that Princeton is just as bad as it is in DC are making me think that they haven’t been to Princeton. Princeton is more reasonably priced and traffic isn’t nearly as bad.[/quote]
