to be constantly considering a house move?

[nameofanother]

Dh and I for the past yr have been constantly house hunting but with no real intent as such.

I feel like we are constantly asking ourselves 'would this be a better place for us to live and raise our children'.

I feel constantly unsettled. I'm just not sure this is normal. Dh reckons we just like moving but I feel tiny things can set me off thinking 'lets move'.

Is it reasonable to think that if it keeps coming up there must be something in it? Or could this just be a little crisis as youngest dc off to school after summer??

my parents spend all their time planning their next move but haven't moved in years. I think they enjoy it (snooping at other houses, imaging grander ones). But if it is making you miserable, then maybe stop and enjoy the place you've got?

I often try to do that because constantly looking at other places does make me feel unsettled which in turn makes me miserable.

But too often something happens that makes me think we should move.

For example my dd1 has just said goodbye to her best friend who is moving down south. This is the second friend who has moved away in 9 mnths. There are now only 2 girls in the yr above her (none in her yr). I worry about this a lot.

Also at the moment we are on holiday by the sea. No midges. It has been lovely to enjoy sitting out without being eaten alive!! Yet I have survived the dreaded midge for yrs.

I wish the decision was taken out my hands (i think). Last time we moved dh's job dictated where/when.
