[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would go with #3 if the possibility of a fair amount of remote work was really going to happen.  I would never make my child leave his school if he was happy and had a good group of friends. That would be my primary concern. Plus, you say it's your dream job but quite frankly until you're actually in the job and you figure out who you're working with you don't yet know if you're really gonna be happ. all it takes is one a-hole, one passive aggressive micromanager to make your dream job turn into hell. Or maybe you will learn that you hate the new city. [/quote]

OP here. Middle school is not great for him. Academically he is fine. But he was zoned for a middle school that is not where most of his elementary school friends went, so it has been very rough on him socially and there has been bullying that the school won’t address.

Children can adjust for moves. Best to do it before high school when they are involved in sports teams and other things. [/quote]

We can agree to disagree. If my middle school son was happy with a good group of friends there is no way I would move him out of that situation and environment. The risk is too great (hard or lonely adjustment at new school, possible bullying, exposure to negative influences). It all depends on the kid along with all the external factors, of course, but as a mother I would prioritize making sure my child is in a good situation over the job change. Conversely, if my son was currently unhappy, friendless, bullied I would jump at the chance to move him (bonus, I get my dream job).  [/quote][/quote]
