To want to move to a city with dd?

[toptramp]

DD is 3.5. I am back in my home town. My home town is lovely and we have many friends and a good support network BUT I miss city life. I do feel that I should stay here for the next few years as the schools are so good but the small provincial mindset an drive me bonkers. Are cities good places to bring up kids? Am thinking London, Bath or Bristol.

Grew up in villages and was lovely as a child but boring as a teenager.

Moved to London and raise DD here and love it. We own our home and love the borough we live in and life is good. Primaries excellent, secondaries good (though the best are faith based, which we are), loads of free things to do every weekend and holiday, loads of people to get to know.

I know quite a few teens in London, none of whom are in gangs or remotely affected by them and we live near some dicey places.

no yanbu. i feel similarly.

i moved back to my home area, small town in rural nowhere, when i was stil married. now i am not and dd is getting older . i am trying to see if i can do a HA house swap. I am a bit scared, about making the right/wrong decision, based on basically the fact i am bored shitless here!!

I couldn't wait to get out of london ten yrs ago, but seem to hanker for it again.

Born and bred in London and I love it. Depends where you can afford though. I won't leave.
