| Relocating Posted: 1/14/2006 2:34:13 AM | relocating is a natural part of life; and everyone can relocate. ;) (call it a hunch)
I want to go somewhere where they have leopards. (that would be the sweetest of environments)
ok; what was the question here?
Leaving kids behind and COVERED probably is a good idea. But if it would make them cry or feel bad? (no; I do not think that I could)
That's just a personal installation of my own values there.
If the kids are happy and learning, growing healthily; then things are good. | |

| Relocating Posted: 1/14/2006 4:33:35 AM | I've had situations where I really wanted to consider relocating, but I would never do so without my kids. I am from the US and I yearn to be close to my family. However I would not consider taking my kids away from their Dad, no matter what my personal feelings are towards him. Every child needs the love of both parents if the parents are willing and able to provide it.
I feel that to leave my kids with their dad so I could be somewhere else pursuing my own life would be the height of selfishness. Besides that I couldn't live without them. | |

| Relocating Posted: 1/28/2006 6:35:55 AM | | In my case.....the kids are now grown, on their' own, the problems I came back here to "handle" are done with, and they have their' own lives & careers...which makes relocating BACK OUT of boring, poverty stricken central Iowa a VERY APPEALING propspect. | |

| Relocating Posted: 1/28/2006 8:41:06 AM | | ***HELL NAW*** No one is more important than my daughter. Even if it means I will never date again! Again I will say HELL NAW!!!! | |

| Relocating Posted: 1/28/2006 2:52:37 PM | nice to see that the consensus appears to be not to leave children - even if they're with the other parent. If you're in their life - moving away would be tantamount to abandonment from their perspective. Love's timeless, childhood is a short season. Wait it out. Move, later - after their childhood is past. | |

| Relocating Posted: 1/28/2006 6:17:43 PM | | I wouldn't even relocate with my kids. I am going to stay in this neighborhood until my kids are out on their own. I'm a strong believer about roots and stability. After my kid's dad and I split 6 years ago I dated a man who asked if I would consider moving to his city with the kids. No way. If I were to get involved again, he would have to consider relocating if he lived in another city. But to relocate without your kids, I can't imagine who would ever do that!! | |

| Relocating Posted: 1/28/2006 7:51:26 PM | | I would relocate in a heart beat..... my kids are 21 and 17... and they tell me they are coming to so much for that life of there own. But i would not know what to do without them we have lived together all our lives... So I would move.. but kids are going to follow... :) | |

| Relocating Posted: 2/12/2006 9:30:47 AM | | Well my ex moved here from victoria to be with me, and one of my friends met her hubby on plenty of fish and he moved all tha way here from philly so yeah anything possible .. if the person is worth it then why not go for it , could be missing out on something good | |
|
| Relocating Posted: 2/12/2006 9:32:58 AM | | oh but if i had children i would never even think about leaving them behind, and i would never ask someone to move away from there children.. Childless now then theres a diff story, but i think the one that has no children should do tha relocating,, | |
|
| Relocating Posted: 2/12/2006 9:35:29 AM | | I could never leave my son behind, period. But he does live with me and as long as he could regularly see his Mom, then I would be open to it but I have to take into account how it would impact him as well. | |
|
| Relocating Posted: 2/12/2006 11:42:26 AM | | I know a woman whose ex moved to a city two hours from here. Their son now rides the bus, alone, every other weekend to go see his dad. I would never do that to my daughter. There is nobody that could make me happy enough to wash away the guilt of leaving my daughter behind. I would hate myself for being so selfish. | |

| Relocating Posted: 2/12/2006 11:58:46 AM | If I met someone and relocating was the best thing, i would but i wouldnt go without my children.
I have a nice little thing in my orders called "geographical orders" Neither of us are allowed to move from our county or surrounding counties. EVER. If its not touching our county, we can't live there.
so relocation....might be hard :( | |
|
| Relocating Posted: 2/12/2006 12:35:21 PM | | Since I have full custody and my son only visits with his father on holidays and a few weeks in the summer, I would have no problem with us relocating. I can fly my son to visit his father during the few visits in the year. But I would NEVER move without him | |
