On one side he feels like he shouldnt leave us cause hes our dad but on the other side we could really really benefit from his new salary so to speak, I start college in 3 weeks, my sisters 21 and still lives with my mom and my lil bro is 12.
He asked me and my sister what we thought
I tried to say he should make his own decision but then i said we could really get out of this rut with all that money.
He's telling me his decision tommarow.
What do you think should/can happen?

I hope that your father takes the job. Though it is a sacrifice, it may be worth it because of the financial givings. Like you said, you will be starting college, your sister is 21, which she can work, and that leaves the 12 year old. I think that things may work out fine. Good luck.

I can understand your mom and the 12 year old. The others are adults and I don't think it fair that your father support them. As for separating a family I don't think it a good idea. With time it creates emotional distance. He from his wife and her from him. Then come the problems that weren't there before. Also the 12 year old who still has a long way to go before 18. The child needs his father on a regular basis not just mail or calls but near. I hope your father decides for the best all around.

This is actually a decision that needs to be made by your dad and mom together. It's nice to ask for input from the kids, but it's really not up to you. They are the adults who have to deal with paying the bills and managing if he's not around. I think they should list out the pros and cons of taking the new job. Whatever decision they make, please be supportive.

Your little brother still needs a dad around and he would be losing that for material gain. Money cant buy an attentive father.

I'm surprised he asked the kids advice since it really has nothing to do with you. I was raised in a military family and we moved every three years. We had no choice, it was my dad's job.

I acually had the same thing happen with my dad. He didn't take the job. He wanted the job but he was going to be to far away from us his family so he didn't take it. I think if it's just because of the money he shouldn't take it. Not if it's to far from his loved ones.

I think your dad shouldn't get the job. Maybe your dad can look for a job that pays well around your area.

Uh...Your family should move with him...unless your mom has some exceptional job that she can't leave...which it doesn't sound like...
