[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks again to everyone who took the time to share their thoughts.  My husband's parents are the only relatives in Southern California.  His sister lives in Conneticut with her husband and right now has no kids.  His parents come to visit us every 2 months and spend time with his sister and then a week or 2 here.  They are close with my kids in this arrangement. My sister lives in the area, and has children close in age and we get together every week or 2.  Up until now, my parents have not really had the chance to spend much time with my kids because whenever they are here, the entire family gets together and its only for a day or so.  My husband did not move here or stay here for me.  We met in another city and separately decided to move to DC - he for grad school and me to be closer to my sister and move to a new city where my boyfiriend at the time would be.  His job is govt related and DC is the place where a lot of people in his field find work.  He loves his company and sees this as an opportunity to advance while still staying with his company.  I guess I'm hung up on both the small bump in salary together with leaving my family.  We are doing fine now.  We would love a bigger house and more money to go on vacations but we get by just fine.  I will probably go back to work once both kids are in school.  I was an elementary school teacher before kids and I may go back into it but would also be open to something else.[/quote]
