Moving house

[Sliverofdarkness]

We're moving house over the Christmas holidays, to get more space for the kids. It's all happening in December and I'm shell shocked. I can't believe I'm leaving the house I've made so lovely over the last 10 years, to start again. My children have spent their early years here. I feel so depressed and like I'll never be happy again. I didn't appreciate all the good things about our house when we made the decision to move for more space, and now that's all I can see. I also think I hate the new house, it is totally characterless, modern house. Just bigger.

YANBU OP, it’s a huge change but sounds like a positive one. The kids will enjoy the extra space and you’ll make it a home, just like you’ve done with the one you’re currently in

Are you renting or buying?

Bear in mind I’m very irritated by several previous threads, but I want to say, get a grip. No one’s making you move. You are lucky to be able to. Put all that sentimental bollocks aside. Lots of people move and somehow manage to be “happy again”. Don’t be such a drama llama.

Am sure you will make the new house lovely...and more space is always useful to have! Think of it as a new journey and a new challenge!

You'll be fine, you will make it your home in time.
