[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents moved right after I graduated. I did not appreciate t but I had my grandparents' and friends' houses to stay at when I wanted to visit so that was fine. My parents understood too. They were also busy with my 2 sisters still in hs.

Now I love where they moved and I am glad they do not still live in my hometown. It has really broadened my horizon's and my own family's. I plan to do the same when my youngest graduates but I am moving to a location and a house where it is easy and fun to visit. [/quote]

We moved when our youngest started college.  From the burbs to the city (15 miles away), then sold the "family home" a few months later.  Kid had been there for MS/HS.  It bothered them a bit, but they had always known it was our plan to move to city when they graduated (owned the condo for 6 years before that).  In reality, they would be at their friends houses when they are home75% of the time anyhow, not in the "family home".  It's a 25 min drive to the friends house and we always make sure they have a car available if they want to go.  Not a big deal.  Live your life and enjoy.  It's healthy for kids to see their parents making decisions for just themselves as a couple, not doing things for kids who are home for 2 weeks at xmas, 1 week SB and 10 weeks in the summer, and ultimately not for all of those breaks as they get internships.
