Trying to keep this short, I'm European, moved to UK for uni, have a husband, son and a lovely life with good jobs. The idea was always to move back before DS starts school but a job offer we had lined up fell through spectacularly literally weeks before we were supposed to move to my home country. My husband is very specialised in his field so job opportunities over there are few and far between. So we thought we'd stay for reception and then try again. However DS school is so lovely and he's been thriving so much that we put it off again. I visit my parents at home all the time - the longest we're apart is 3 months, but often it's ever 2 months I go- and we spend the entire summer holidays there. (I can make it work with work) My parents are fit and well thank goodness but thinking ahead I feel terrible that I'm not physically closer and cannot help them more. Would you in these circumstances throw everything in and take the risk and move (with potentially worse jobs and definitely less money, plus my son having to change school- he speaks both languages but loves where we live now)? Or shall I just wait a few more years?
Yabu- stay where you are
Yanbu-- try and move quickly
