[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, Everyone, I'm the OP chiming in again. Thanks for all of your feedback.

I've had a few more discussions with MB and DB and haven't made a final decision yet, but am leaning toward going.

I think the situation will be pretty livable:

They haven't purchased a new house yet, but are searching now and plan to fly out later this winter to look at places. They say I'll have my own space like I do now and they may even try to find an option that would give me my own entrance which would be really nice.

They've offered me a slight raise ($200 per month more than I'm currently getting) which isn't huge, but I think is fine given that I won't have to pay for rent, utilities, or that much food.

They've also offered to buy a used car for my sole use if I will commit to going with the intention of staying long term (a couple years).[b] We won't have a binding contract for that period of time, but they said they just want me to be forthright about my intentions going in.[/b]

The housekeeping expectations are regular vacuuming, mopping, dusting, de-cluttering, cleaning bathrooms, kitchen, doing the dishes, doing the family laundry, changing bed sheets, and then other tasks as assigned. This is in addition to the normal cleaning up after the kids. I'm not thrilled about these, but I think these should be doable when the kids are in school, so I don't really think it's going to be more hours.

On the whole, I think it sounds like a potentially cool opportunity that I might not get again, so I figure that I will take this adventure while I have the chance. My main worry is how easy it will be to make friends and have a life without knowing anyone there besides my NF.

It sounds amazing and I would do it in a heartbeat.  I'm strangely excited for you (internet stranger) and this awesome opportunity.

You need to work out housekeeping expectation for when the kids are out of school. You won't be able to keep up with the regular duties.  Do you have a contract now?  If so, I don't understand why you wouldn't have one in HI.   I'm certain you will make friends!
