if they are enjoying the cheaper lifestyle you are currently living at the trailer park community, you should totally stay! you are saving money, keeping your kids happy, plus you meet so many nice people at trailer parks. of course there are a few wierdos but a good 90% of the people are so sweet and they all have kids and can relate to you, perfectly!
:] good luck! stick with what makes the fam happy.!

Do you NEED to move? Moving 30 miles away will mean you'll probably have to move schools as well. Not the best idea when school JUST started. Maybe you should AT LEAST let them finish this school year, then move to the city. You're the mom though, so what you say, goes.

Thirty miles isn't really that far... if you believe the new location would be a better place for you and your children to live, go for it! Kids adjust fairly quickly; reassure them by creating a plan to see their friends once you move, and then follow through with it. You have to do what you feel is best for your kids, even though they may feel hurt.

You're the parent and you make the final decisions. Most kids don't want to move, but may find after you move somewhere that it's not so bad after all.
They may be apprehensive because they have friends at the trailer park, but you can assure them that you can come visit their friends every so often once you move.

I'd stay there so they can be with their friends as long as those children they are hanging out with are a good influence and the kind of kids I'd want my child to know.
If you do move 30 minutes away, you can always drive them back for playdates and such. Promise them you will make that drive, and then keep your promise.

Got to think of the kids, unless a really good job further away comes up I won't move.You may find it better to wait esp if it means a new school for them. City is more money anyway just think of it as a good time to save money.

Ask yourself, do you really need anything bigger and better ?
If he answer was no, then I would stay and keep all the good friends. You can always make the move later in life.

You are the parent and if you think a move would be better, do it. Your children will adjust. You cannot make your decisions solely based on your children's feelings, though the thought is really a nice one. You are their parent and know what will be the best for them.

You can't always do what your kids want. If you're moving up in the world and are able to provide a better lifestyle for them-good for you! Don't worry about what they say-they will get used to it and will make new friends. When they are older they will appreciate it.

see no mater what ..kids that age don't,understand why we make choices we make..you have to do whats right ..you need more space, and that's important they well still be able to see their friends ..they will also meet new ones ...never let children make your decision, take what they are saying in to consideration..but at the end its up to you..and they well like it is just as much probably more if they give it a chance..kids don't like change were use too it..make a deal with them if they don't like it within a 1 ..move back...good luck ,wish you the best
