Should we move back closer to family before our daughter starts school?
You haven’t formed strong friendships since relocating, but that takes time and returning home will have its own costs – not all of them financial
TL;DR
- Moving to a new place offers opportunities to form new bonds without necessarily weakening old ones.
- Family can be likened to 'trees' that are well-established, while friends are like 'flowers' that require daily attention.
- It's encouraged to focus on developing new friendships for future enjoyment and appreciate existing family connections.
- When considering a move back, one should evaluate broader opportunities such as career, schools, amenities, and social life.
- Moving based solely on other people can be risky as relationships or circumstances can change.
- Giving the current situation more time and considering the potential frustrations of returning to past issues is advised.
