My DS is 5 and started in Reception class in September. The school he is in is lovely with smallish class sizes - there's 36 of them across two classes so only 18 in his group. He has settled in really well.
Trouble is I suffer with depression and just feel I would cope better if I was nearer my wider family who could offer support. My DH is furious with me as he thinks I am being selfish and inconsiderate to DS. DH also loves where we live (Somerset) and hates where I want to move to (Basildon in Essex). The school DS would go in to has an excellent Ofsted report and my sister works there as a teaching assistant and is happy that her own children attend there. The class size though would be much larger - nearly 30 across each group instead of the 18 he has at present.
I'm also worried about moving him from a school which is lovely and where he has settled in so well - he doesn't like change particularly and I would feel hugely guilty if I moved him and he hated it and did not settle.
What do you all think? Am I being selfish or am I being practical. My DH works away alot as he is self employed and at least 50% of his work is in the south east which is another good reason to me for living there.
I feel isolated here.
