[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad took a new job across the country when my brother was going into his senior year (i was in 8th grade). He commuted for a year to allow my brother to graduate (I think he did 3 weeks new place, 1 week old place). He worked at a medical school and this was before WFH so he had very understanding bosses.

Is that an option? Otherwise the suggestion of having your daughter stay with someone for a year could work... I know someone that did that too (military family). [/quote]

What about downsizing to a small apt in each location?

And, please consider your relationship with your DD at this stage of her life. Yes, she’s growing into independence, and you may barely see her between school, activities and social. But to have her on her own with another family is asking a lot of her.

A friend’s family moved summer before his senior year. He stayed behind with really good friends, while his family moved 500 miles away. It was fine. And, it deeply damaged his relationship with his parents long-term.

Presumably, your marriage is strong enough to live apart-ish for 8 months. My husband and I did this. It was hard, but we could navigate the disruption more easily than our kids.

Good luck!![/quote]
