I just turned 22 when I married my husband and moved from Southern California to the Midwest, hated it with the fire of a thousand suns, home sick , lonely but I loved and still do my husband. No way would I move away from him much less take his kids away.
Even if you don't like mass. You can still make a life and be happy. My family is from Texas and would go every summer to visit my grandparents I would get so sick to my stomach because of the heat. It gets so hot that you can smell the pavement melting.
You mentioned military couples living apart, their divorce rate is high. People here are not being mean, they are just being honest.
I said I wasn't going to answer anymore questions but for clarification I will give u a breakdown.I worked to support my husband when he was in school.Apart from taking care of the kids I did all his assignments so he could study .I have sacrificed a lot for him.Now he's an anaesthesiologist you would think he would move to make me happy since I hate MA and was there for him when he needed me.I always think about my self the least...I have sacrificed Almost 9 years of my life for my husband. Setting my needs aside,focusing on raising and homeschooling 2 of our children.. I've lived in MA for nine years Neither have I made any friends because I dont like it here.Ive begged him to move
He promised me he would move with me after school..
Fast forward school done..I pop the question again
LETS MOVE since ure all.done with school and will find a job anywhere. He simply says he cant move and doesnt see himself living outside Massachusetts..I have no intention of divorcing him..But its time I got on with my life too
it would b sad to know I could have moved anywhere and be happy but am stuck here in MA cos my spouse won't move with me but will pay my rent and take care of the kids if I decide to move.So all those calling me selfish..Think again.I came here for answers not to splurge all details about my marriage..Good day..

The OP listed it as part of her sacrifices for her husband. With her oldest being 5, kindergarten age, she can't have been doing it for very long. I wouldn't really consider anything prior to kindergarten "homeschooling." Even if the 2 year old is picking stuff up by listening, that's not "homeschooling 2 kids." It was an exaggeration. That was my point.
5 year old is generally the age most kids start kindergarten which if my granddaughter went to public school would have been in this year. Yes there is home school curriculum for preschool so it is possible.

Also, if the burnout is from being with the kids all day, put them in a high quality daycare. They'll benefit from the socialization and being with some caregivers who aren't burned out, as well as interacting with peers, playing outside, etc. OP then won't have the stress of entertaining and caring for 3 kids under 5 all day. That will cost less than moving halfway across the country.

Yes, I know that 5 years old is when most start kindergarten. She said she homeschooled 2 kids. When one is 2 and one is 5, she can't have been doing it for long. Who "homeschools" a child under 2 years old? Her statement would have carried more weight if her kids were actually school-aged.

I don't disagree with this. If "homeschooling" a 2 and a 5 year old is too much, then put them in preschool, even a half day.

Well to put this case to rest .I am in Dallas now(Richardson).My spouse decided he couldn't live without us and will join us in a month.Even though I didn't get the information I needed, my spouse went out of his way to rent a 3 bedroom apartment for us and hired a live in Nanny so I get help with my kids.We will be settling into our new home when he joins us after finalizing paperwork .
So for those who blew this simple question out of proportion I say drink some tea and relax.Am already in dallas.And to those who went out of their way to be super nice to me ..Am so grateful a
and thankful for u.Have a great day everyone .Adios Amigos
[quote=ContraPagan;52101154]My mother was a SAHM, and she graduated from Albany (NY) Business School with High Honors. She also had TWO high school diplomas, one from her high school, and the NYS Regents Diploma. My father made enough money as an Engineer doing R&D for General Electric so she didn't have to work, and I am very glad not to have been shunted into day care.
And your cavalier attitude about divorce speaks volumes. If you REALLY loved your husband the idea of divorce, or him filling your absence with another woman, would be devastating. The more you post the more truths you
Seriously you dont even know me ..smh ..lmao ..u dont even know my spouse neither do u know me..Anyway enjoy ur day
