DD and her best friend are both 6 and joined at the hip (when we aren't in lockdown). They are both very similar - shy, thoughtful girls who just adore one another. They are in the same class at school.
DH and I have made the decision to move to a town about 30 mins away, which would mean moving schools. We have thought long and hard about this and know it is better for our family in the long run. We would be closer to other family members, have lots of facilities on our doorstep, and have access to significantly better secondary schools.
DD is excited about the move but obviously gutted she will not be with her best friend any more.
I'm stressing a bit about how to tell her best friend's mum about the move. I know she will be gutted for the girls. She is lovely too and her and I have become reasonably good friends over the past couple of years too (as have the DHs). I am a bit worried she is going to be pissed off about it all and generally am feeling manorly guilty about it.
Am i being ridiculous?!?! What do you think the best way to tell her is? Is a text ok?
