Should we relocate?

[SMacfarlane]

My husband works in the states a lot due to his business being based there. He's originally from there but moved to England not long before we had our eldest daughter. Over the last couple of years his work load has risen a lot so were considering a move over there. Our eldest daughter is finishing secondary school in June and our younger two are 8 and 5. We've discussed the idea and see a lot of positives about it. Our eldest has even considered continuing her education over there. If we did then my husband wouldn't have to travel so much and we could spend more time during the school holidays together. I don't have much contact with my family and all of his family are over there. I'm worried about the effect on the kids and would it be best for them. Would it be good to do this now at a young age and just before our eldest starts her career?

I can't comment on the older one as I have no experience with that age but we moved to the US six months ago and my kids are the same age as yours. I guess it depends where abouts you'd be as to what your experience may be. Mine has been very positive so far. We are in the north east and have settled in a lovely town and met some fantastic people (albeit a lot of them fellow Brits!) Be aware of the cost of living here - it's astronomical and obviously check out whether you can actually get a visa before torturing yourself with all the pros and cons.
Maybe good to move your post to the living overseas board?
