Hi,

Please can I get some advice from anyone who may have been through something similar. I have two kids under 4 and a supportive husband. We live currently on the outskirts of London but I am from originally near Liverpool. My husbands job is finance and predominantly London based. Since Covid, he has mostly been doing his job by WFH.

Whilst I have friends in London and a part time teaching job myself, I have always missed having my own family near by. You can get so much more for your money up in Liverpool. My in laws have been great, although they are very busy with their own business, they adore my kids and have been very helpful.

Basically long story short , we have just exchanged contracts and we are moving up. I thought it was what I wanted but now we are moving I have been feeling upset. Not sure whether it’s nerves, but I feel like my in laws hate me. I wish we could be near everyone. I’m worried about my husband commuting once every two weeks. There’s so many thoughts going on through my head. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks for reading.

Commuting once every 2 weeks is doable. I'm on the NW and have a few friends who either do this themselves or their DHs do.

And your DPIL are going to be thrilled that you're all moving away but it will become the new normal and you can invite them up for a weekend once you've moved in.
