Aibu to not know (moving related)

Whether moving house is the right thing to do or not?

Few decisions in life are clear-cut. All you can do is list the benefits and disadvantages of moving and of not moving, make your decision, give yourself a couple of days to "live" with the decision and see if it still feels comfortable. and then once you've done it, never allow yourself to think "what if?"

Thank you that makes sense. I wouldn't worry so much if it were just me but it would be uprooting my primary aged child from a good school and nice environment.

So you'll need to consider the likelihood of getting a good school where you move to, the likelihood of a good environment, and your child's ability to make friends. And set that against the things that are making you feel moving would be a good thing to do.

Also think about how irreversible the decision is. If you didn't move now, could you move later? If you did move now, could you move back?

What is your motivation for moving?

We can get a bigger house. We'd need to do it up first but it would solve the issues (as we see them) with our current house.
It's better connected which could be an advantage as our child grows up.
But every so called positive could also turn out to be a negative iyswim.

Do a list of pros and cons. Which ever one is longer will make you focus the mind on your decision. What are the cons to moving? We are moving at the moment. Pro- bigger house. Con - further away from train station and school
