We live in a 3 bed semi in a cul de sac. My daughter’s best friends live here and we have an idyllic life they play out every day. We have two children and the house is a bit cramped now - the third bedroom is very small, no space for wardrobes, not much room for toys. It’s defining to not unmanageable but it’s a squeeze.
we have come into some money and can afford our dream home in the town 3 miles away. Would be a lot more convenient for trains/ schools etc but leaving behind our lifestyle breaks my heart and I know our eldest won’t want to go. She wouldn’t need to move school or anything but she would lose her daily playing out with friends and I’d miss it too. Having said that I think long term she and her sister would benefit from more space and a town location. Where we are is semi rural and not great for teens. We have no family nearby and our neighbours have become our support network we are with them daily and in and out of each others houses I know some would hate it but we love it. I’m torn WWYD
