My eldest started school a month after we moved and my daughters day care was near work - so there was no change for her. Our timing was actually quite good. Glad he apologized. I'm rooting for you guys. If we lived in the same town I'd like to think we'd have barbecues with the kids and not talk about our exes at all. ��LIVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524453327563312809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916126436692978523.post-14397172277227284392014-11-13T23:34:22.048-08:002014-11-13T23:34:22.048-08:00HI Liv, thank you so much for your thoughtful comm...HI Liv, thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! <br /><br />We talked to one attorney about moving, and basically we're tied to location unless I can change the girls' schools...did you keep your kids in the same schools when you moved? We did have a long talk and he apologized for his nasty commentary, and has said it makes sense financially for us to stay here...that maybe if we renovate a little bit, it will make him feel better. We'll see. <br /><br />p.s. I actually support 100% his being upset and the transition stress, what was hard was that he just kind of 'blew up' with nasty commentary and assumptions :( all of which he apologized for...so i'm hopeful. thanks again for listening!!Jane Thrivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937944153368197294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916126436692978523.post-77902222561607119172014-11-13T18:02:49.716-08:002014-11-13T18:02:49.716-08:00Wow Jane that's a tough one.

The girls are young enough...maybe if you're willing to listen to him, he'll be more open to listening to you...LIVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13524453327563312809noreply@blogger.com
