Starting to get torn...

Kids do adapt, SOMETIMES, because they have no other choice. Speaking as someone who was moved around so many times as a child that I lost count, I can tell you that it wasn't easy being the new kid all the time. Just as I made friends, it was time to move. I was either way behind or way ahead in class and that made it difficult, too. As a result, I never did learn how to put down roots.

You have a lot of things to consider, that's for sure, but your family must come first. You'll do what's best for everyone, pets included.

Oh Isabel, what a time, not knowing but worrying, thinking about all the "what ifs!"

Here, if a company transfers you, they must assist you in finding a suitable place to live. I don't know if that would work with your husband's company.

Praying that you find a way to make everything work.

Companies in the US have no obligation to assist in finding a suitable place to live. Many may choose to do so, none must.

I am living in SoCal because my husband was offered an "opportunity of a lifetime" with his employer of +30 years.

Everything is negotiable. My husband's employer very much wanted him to relocated so they provided many things and...

My husband is a very good negotiator so we moved without much hardship (financial that is!)

Eddie and Edwina were a big consideration. They have adjusted quite well.

It is frightening and it is challenging and it is exciting.

But it is not easy.

Feel free to ask me if you think I can provide any ideas/guidance/comfort!

I must echo the statement that SOME kids adjust. Having a toddler myself, I could not imagine putting him in another preschool next year, having already put him in two new ones. In fact, I had attempted to get into a new preschool for the up and coming year, and am on a waiting list. This, alone, caused me great trepidation. The only saving factor was that THIS new school would be his school for the next 7 years. Kids are not little adults. They are kids, in a totally different developmental spot than us.

As for my pets? Would be a major, major issue for me.

Isobel- good luck. Prayers going out to you that things work out.
