Just wondered if anyone can give us any sage advice to help us make our difficult decision.
DH and I lived in the USA Pacific Northwest 15 years ago. Then we came back to the UK brought a house, settled down and had children. Didn't have any plans to go back but DH has recently received another job offer to go back to the same place. Having to now consider 2 children we really just don't know what to do.
it would be for a minimum of 4-5 year commitment. DC's are 9 years old, which would put them at age 14 - 15 before we could consider coming back. I think that would be a very difficult age to move them, plus the fact that it would probably be impossible to get them back into a school in UK where we live (we would rent out house, but all nearby schools are oversubscribed).
If we loved it and decided to stay, we we would then have to consider college for them in USA and from what I hear fees are extortionate. If they moved back to UK for uni not sure if we would then qualify for any loans etc as would have been recently living abroad.
We are both also late 40's now and have parents is their 70's. I worry about not being around for them as they get older.
Any thoughts much appreciated
