To move away from family

Just that really.

My husband and I (and one year old) have chosen to move to a nicer area, it's a maximum hour and fifteen from where both our families live.

My family are making me feel the the worst person in the world, for doing this.

Our reasons are;

I have a job that's a promotion and substantial pay increase. (Also really excited for the job, and opportunity)

He has also managed to find a job in less than two weeks, so this really feels like things are coming together.

We've always wanted to live in a better area, and never imagined ourselves where we were born for the rest of our life and don't want to raise our family here.

Are we being incredibly selfish, as my mum will no longer be able to do childcare so won't see her grandchild every week.

Has anyone been in a similar situation, and what have you done?

I'm feeling like maybe we should just forget it all and stay.

But don't under-estimate the value of having family nearby to help with some childcare - assuming that they willing and that you all get on. It must be great!
