We currently live in San Francisco, DH has been offered a promotion based in London, England for 5 years starting April 2017.
At that point DS will be 15 turning 16 in September 2017 and DD will be 13 turning 14 in December 2017.
They're far too old to join the English school system so will have to attend an American School.
But my issue isn't the schooling, I think that they're far too old and too settled to be removed, they've lived in our house/our street/our neighbourhood their entire lives.
Although it's Europe I'm still worried about a culture shock, DCs do a lot of sports that may not be on offer in England, Hockey , Baseball, Lacrosse etc
Our entire family is in the U.S, DCs will both be attending University in America, with DD we'll be going back the year she's suppose to start but when DS moves back we'll still be located in England, which will just make the whole process a lot harder then it has to be.
DH has said that turning down the promotion means his career stagnates for a few years as he most likely won't be offered anything else for a long time.
Both DCs are on the fence about going.
I don't know if I'm being too cautious about this, it seems better to wait 4 or 5 years and then do the move if he's offered a similar opportunity when DCs both leave home.
