Re: Help, have an opportunity, but it would mean moving again. WWYD??
One of the only things keeping me here on LI is my family. Since your family is there, I would definitely go. Your child will adjust, she is still young.

I wouldn't pass up the opportunity to try it out. she's young enough and while she'll be annoyed at first, she'll get over it. If you talk it up to her and be uber positive, show her before the move and so on, she'll be thrilled about it. Good luck!

We lived in our first house in West Islip, since 2 months before DD was born. We moved last year, at the end of kindergarten when she was almost 6.
She adjusted well and made friends easily. I however, have had a very hard time feeling comfortable in the new area.
But anywho, when we moved, we told her she could still see her old friends, which she does, and most importantly this would be our first and last move and that she would graduate High School here.
My father just retired and my Mom is not far behind. They have expressed an interest in Moving out west, by my older brother and his family. So DH and I discussed it, and while we weren't thinking of moving, he loves it there. Then he went on his company website, and they have his exact position here in NY, open in Denver. Fate?? maybe
We could get an amazing house for half the price of what we have now, the taxes are also crazy low. They range from about $1500-$3000 A YEAR!!!!!
The area we would move to has great schools. You can choose any school you want to send your child to in the district, a charter school, a magnet school and you have the option of traditional or year round .
Each area of the development has it's own rec center. They have indoor and outdoor pools-even an indoor spray park and lazy river. It has a gym, all classes, all sports, dance,karate, cheer,gymnastics, ice skating, roller skating, rock climbing, horse back riding, ton of classes for the kids, pre-school and camp for school kids when school is closed.
They also have 350 days of sun a year, which really appeals to me.
So, with that being said, would you stay in NY, because another move may not be good for DD, or would you go?
Your DD will adjust. I know you told her otherwise but it seems like the best move for many reasons. I say go for sure.
