[quote=Anonymous]I was 4 when my dad left for job reasons. According to my mom, I had a very hard time, missed him greatly. Kids have no sense of time or space at the ages of your kids. A year is forever. My mom describes that as we were driving half way across the country I would pop up every 5 minutes asking if we are there yet. I would definitely go for the sake of your kids because separation from a parent is painful and difficult for your kids possibly traumatic. A 2 or 4 year old is not going to understand a job opportunity for a year just “Why did daddy leave me.” Yes I know military kids and other kids go through this all the time and most do ok. However I still think if you can spare your kids this pain you should. Boston is a Great city with lots of great things to do with kids. It’s not like you are moving to rural North Dakota or something..[/quote]
