We moved house , about 40 miles away, just before Christmas and the DC started in their new , just lovely and perfect, school at the beginning of term. DD settled in just fine and DS had a few starting problems finding friends to play with in the playground but has now just made a best friend and for the first time is enjoying school.
Problem : DH might be getting a job in Paris - 13 month contract so we'd have to go too, the weekly commute would just be too much of a nightmare for that long.
What would happen to the DC- we'd be moving at Easter - if he got the job.
He hasn't applied for it yet but it's something he's always wanted to do, a great career move, more money etc. Living abroad is something we've both wanted to do but so soon after moving the DC once would be the problem.
We're sort of hoping that he won't get the job which would help us sort the problem - but we need to plan for if he did.
We won't have to sell our house so will be able to move back to the same place afterwards but all the local primaries around here are so oversubscribed we almost certainly wouldn't get them back into the same school and might not even get them back into the same school as eachother and might have to go to one we have to drive to - currently a lovely 25 minute walk which we all love.
OK so I've come up with all the reasons why it's going to be a bad thing, worst case scenario - can anyone find a positive slant on this one for me ?
