We live in a great area. Brilliant schools and our house is fantastic. I'm a SAHM. I have two small DC one is now school age. But my DH works long hours often comes home and is back on his laptop. I have an OK social life usual baby groups and trips to cinema. When growing up my fondest memories were times spent as a child with my cousins and extended family. I specifically rememebr saying this at my NCT group and the group leader indicating the reason she had asked us for our fondest memories was because we should look to recreate similar memories for our babies. I really took that to heart maybe because we live 2.5 hours from
My family. My husband's family namely my inlaws live 10 mins away. My FIL isn't very paternal and my MIL has a long of personal responsibility her own daughters kids and an ageing mother. With the best will in the world she can't offer what I'm seeking is family/parents to drop by and see and to have some support with the kids. The thing is people would think we are being ridiculous leaving such great schools an amazing house just cos I want to be near my family. But although we don't openly discuss it my DH knows it's what I want but it seems like I'm being unreasonable cos on the outisde all is supposedly perfect. He works long hours. I just miss my family. AIBU ? Am I being silly. I feel like i would be throwing 'it' all away but what I want isn't here I want my family
