Honest to God man, you should just follow your heart. Jobs here are plenty, and you shouldnt have a problem readjusting, if you choose to do that. Just remember you can never go back to her being three, again. Good Luck either way.

I can't believe you are asking this question. Your daughter is your seed, your blessing from God. California is a place. You may be doing quite well there but is it really worth not seeing your baby girl grow up? You can always move back, but your daughter is only young once.
I know it takes great sacrifice to uproot everything and move across the country, but parents help mold the adult their children become. Do you want your influence on her life to be one of a frequent visitor, or permanent fixture. I guess it all depends on whether you want to be her father, or be her dad.
P.S. You can get a great home here for a fraction of the cost of one in Cali, and it will have a yard!

Atlanta is a fun, exciting city. It's not CA, but it's certainly not a place you'll be bored. However, I think you need to sit down and figure out your priorities. If you really love and miss your daughter, you should move and be with her. Having you in her life will mean the world to her, and may very will make a positive difference in the woman she one day becomes.

A few days a year do not a relationship make - not for family. It may be cool to see the cousins every summer, but if you plant o be the daddy you need to get to know her now and keep it going - cause they change really fast as I'm sure you noticed. That said - what would your job prospects be in GA? You also will not have a ready made social life unless you are taking someone with you. I know mothers who would rather the father just send cash - but the kid gets the impression that daddy just didn't want to be with him/her. Tough choice, examine your reasons for wanting to move closer.

You'll never get that time to make up with your daughter again,and besides you had your whole life prior to having your daughter to live for yourself, but once you have a child you then need to live for them. You won't believe the little things you'll miss out on that do not seem very important, but really mean everything to her. I remember my mom being at all mine and my brothers track events, when my dad wasn't ( he was at work though).
Just think in a few years when she is to "big for her daddy" then you'll wonder where all the time went.

Um! Let's see my first thought is , apparently there is divorce or separation from her mother,?? You didn't say, and you have a good life in California,?? And probably a good job, because it's probably not cheap to live out there and this move would entail, not only a change of job, but the finding of accommodations , a rather pricey moving expense , and after you get there, will your being there disrupt your child's life style, or the people that she is used to being with? ( Food for thought. )
And you'd probably be trading Earthquakes for hurricanes.

I didn't like it.I was born and raised in Los Angeles lived a year there and bounced. Too backwards for me there.Also sure the cost of living is good there but the gas and water bill and electric bill is not.

If you feel that you need to move closer to her, then do it. But make sure your job and living situations are taken care of first before making that move. I like the fact that you are wanting to be a part of her life!!

Why on earth are you capitalizing every word you type? It is very annoying.
I would move closer to your daughter if you can, you are lucky that you are able to do this. She will not stay young for very long, so try to be there for her.

Be as close to your daughter as you can. Nothing in life is more important than that little girl.
