[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents did this and it was fine. I survived. She’ll make new friends at college and keep in touch with the old ones through social media. [/quote]

But will she be as inclined to want to visit as she would if she were going "home"?[/quote]

Is this a serious question? Why would I not want to visit my parents and other siblings? This is just stupid. How long into adulthood are you going to cater to your child's every whim?[/quote]

[b]I don’t think it’s catering to their every whim. But no matter when as an adult your parents move away from your hometown, the new place they live isn’t going to be your home and depending on where that new place is, it can be expensive and time-consuming to now visit some place where your only connection is that your parents now live there. My ILs moved from the home/area they had lived in for nearly 40 years a couple years ago and cannot grasp this concept, that it is a lot more difficult to visit their new location and a lot less compelling because of where it is and that my H has no connection to the location. Whereas before, he was happy to visit and bring the kids to see the places that were important to him growing up, he could still see his friends who settled there, etc. [/quote][/b]

Wow, how old is your husband and doesn't he have a home and a life of his own?[/quote]
