We have the opportunity to move to Kansas City for 6 (ish) months from April for DH's work. We have a DD who is 2.3. I work 3 days (with DD in nursery) and we live in London.
I am quite tempted by the offer, but am worried about all the usual things - DD settling, isolation, childcare, being a SAHM, i cant drive (im thinking i could do an intensive course with an Automatic?).
Im used to being round the corner from activities/friends/cafes - and I think Kansas would be very much living in a suburb having to drive everywhere?
However, living overseas, seeing some of the States, the change, and different way of life also quite appeal - knowing that that it will be temporary especially ... any advice from you Statesiders on how easy it would be to settle, make friends and enjoy it for 6 months? And if you think its a good idea for a 2.3 year old to drag her round the world?
Any advice much appreciated.
