Advice needed I am a single parent of 2 children, my kids and I have been living with my parents for many years now, they have plenty of space in their house, we have our own portion of the house that I had built on a few years back and it just worked to pay them rent and stay there. My children by the way are 9 and 5, so a 4th grader and kindergartner. Last spring, I met a guy, a fabulous guy who I have fallen in love with and we are discussing our future together. He has a beautiful house in a town about 25 minutes away from where we live now. We have discussed that when we marry, we would live in his house. This however, would require the kids moving and having to change schools. My Mother thinks it is a horrible idea, she thinks it is horrible to move my daughter away from all of her friends and activities that she is involved in and I would feel bad about that, but its not that far away from her friends, shed still have connections, but now I am second guessing everything. She says I would be selfish to move the kids because of marriage/love.
He just recently refinanced his house, so asking him to sell it to move to my home town doesnt seem quite right, plus he loves the house, its an older house that he has spent a lot of time restoring and its so perfect, I love it's charm and beauty. So, my dilemma is, would you move your kids to a new home/new school because of marriage/love? Whats a girl to do?
