Would you relocate/move somewhere totally new if you were a lone parent?

Would you move for a job as a lone parent?

Offered an amazing job but would mean moving with my 2dcs somewhere new where I know no one - so no support or help. They are both school age and job is ft. Is that madness or doable? Am I nuts or brave to start again into the great unknown?

Op I think it depends. How much help do you get at the moment? I did relocate when my DC's young but had no help from family or friends where I lived before so moving and having no help was no diff. Quality of life better now as bigger more affordable hse and cleaner environment etc so no brainer for me. If you are working full time and not at sch often you may not make as many sch mum friends who could help but it's not impossible. If your DC's are young you need to think about cover when they are ill. If they are late teens like mine are now it doesn't matter and can be home alone. You need to see how you live now and who is there for you and how that would change and impact you if you moved.

Thanks Elsie. No help now as family live abroad - I'm sure I'd be fine once moved but it's the move itself that would be a super hassle!
