to be really worried about possibly renting privately again aged 35!!?

[MigraineMartie]

Considering moving to the coast to be nearer to my mum ( currently 55 miles away )
Daughter starting school September so not much time to play with and obviously will have missed cut off dates however apparently schools not as over subscribed as here in surrey.
Only real issue is that we are renting this from HA, £1000 a month on an intermediate market rent but been here 4 years and as long as we pay the rent we will never have to leave.
Never rented with kids ( have 4 year old and baby ) but remember it pre kids and it was awful, landlords selling, upping the rent, ordering us not to paint etc etc.
Dreading the instability of it all but my heart wants to be closer to my mum and think better now than once kids are settled at school?

I would never risk stability of my kids. They are always going to follow your steps but ultimately you hold all cards.

If you feel anxious talk to your GP.
Ask your mither to stop outting pressure on you!

Your first and foremost responsibility is to provide stable life for your kids!
Your current acvomodation gives you that and also you probably have place in primary school for your dd.

I hope your dh agrees with me!

Well after a long long chat with my husband we are staying put.
We have registered with other housing trusts in case they have any of these market rent properties nearer my mother but it's unlikely and would depend on school places too at the time as well as how settled my daughter is when starting school September.
Thanks for all the help, I was being emotional about the situation but I have to put the children first and stability and having somewhere to call him is very important - thanks again :)

Thanks for the update! Ithink it is good to take all pros and cons into consideration and not to be swayed too much by emotions.

Hope it all goes well for you. It's hard making a life changing decision such as this.
