Sorry folks seem to be going on about this, but making me feel a bit wobbly & making for many a narky row btwn me & dh.
Basically, my dh has new job lined up in Manchester. We live in Newcastle currently. He wouldn't be going till after Christmas and then we (me and our 3 kids) wouldn't go till even later.
I'm struggling with why we are doning this and what we are gaining. In fact, all I can see are negatives. Money wise, its a bit more, but I think that will be more or less cancelled by higher property prices. I can only think its a career move for my dh- well it is - bigger company, more responsibility. He is not entirely happy where he is.
But I am dreading it. With 3 kids, only one at schl, and knowing no one down there (well one person). I was down there for a yr after birth of my 1st and hated it (but had PND). I don't want to hold him back, but I can't see what I & the kids gain here. I reckon we would have smaller house and much much less support. Am I being a selfish bag? Am I meant to sacrifice it all for his career? Just some views would be good.
Its not helped by the weather being great and being so near the sea.......I keep thinking why the f* are we moving????
