Hello Hackney mums,
Im toying with the idea of moving back to London which I lived for 8 years.. I've been in Bristol as a single mum for nearly 3.5 years and never meant to stay it was just by default as my parents are here. It didn't help I broke my ankle very badly when my son was 2 and I'm only just getting mobility back as it was so bad. As I never meant to be in bristol and it's also my home town, I can't help feeling unsettled.
My brother has recently moved to Leyton and my child's dad lived in Stratford . Unfortunately his dad hasn't seen him for 6 months and doesn't help financially yet I feel being near my brother and his girlfriend would be great. I may have more opportunity to find work, retrain if I move back plus I have a friend network I can easily tap into . There are Challenges that scare me!....finding a school for my son who would start in September and also accommodation. Money is a big factor as I'm not rich but could do a house share possibly...it's a big step but I feel if I tackle it now I may always regret not doing it. Anyone think I'm mad and should stay where I am..Bristols great but it's almost too laid back for me...what's the general consensus on this area for kids? Is it all work and no fun? Feeling very confused!
