Dh and I have always discussed moving abroad, he has worked overseas when he was younger. I've never lived outside UK. We've always liked the idea of Canada and done some quick searches about visas/cost of living etc. We are in the position of being able to buy a house next year so we've started looking but anything we can afford is tiny. So out of curiosity we looked at houses in the parts of Canada we were interested in and we could get out dream house for a lot less than we would spend on a tiny house here. Dh woud pack up and go tomorrow if he could and I love the idea but in reality I don't know if I could. I'm very close to my parents. They do so much for us and as dh works crazy hours they provide me with a lot of emotional support as well as baby sitting etc. Also ds1 absolutly adores his grandparents he wants to see them all the time. He run up and leaps into their arms even if he saw them the day before. I'm sure ds2 will be the same but he's only 3 months atm. No parents also love dc. They went on holiday for 2 weeks and the night they got back they came straight over because they missed dc. So basically the only thing keeping me here is my parents (dh has a strained relationship with his parents so he doesn't understand exactly how I feel). Am I crazy to base my decisions solely on this? It's literally the only thing holding me back. Sorry for long post!!
