to leave a home owned by family to private rent instead?

[Lostandlostsomemore]

From surrey to littlehampton to live near mum and grandmother?
Have a thread on but not much traffic and biggest worry is the rental factor, being unstable for the kids growing up so thought I would aim this one soley at that - thanks

Surrey has a lot of good schools, from when we considered briefly moving to the Arundel area I discovered that it can be tricky to get a good school in that area for secondary. Especially if you are not religious.

Have you spoken to your mother about this? Does she want you closer? Every two weeks is very frequent for most families.

I can't tell if this is a repeat of a previous thread, with a few details changed, or just a really similar situation. Many people posted their advice/experiences here:

Actually my mum moved honestly thinking we would follow.
I never said we would, I said we would look into it but to do what she feels is right for her and that's to be near my elderly nan and she is lucky to be in a job where she just transferred over ( government sector ) however she often gets upset when we leave and says she misses me popping in for tea etc which I guess wouldn't happen so much now that youngest is in pre school but Friday after school was a regular thing however the 75 min drive turns into a nightmare with a tired 7 year old and a 3 year old who sleeps the entire way up and then can't go to sleep at bedtime!
I do understand how selfish I sound though, I can't imagine privately renting with children as we were lucky enough never to do it but the thought of moving there, getting them into a school and then possibly having to move schools again if we couldn't find another home in the area when we needed it is terrifying
