    If it is what you want to do, do it! we have moved to the other side of the country from our families. From Perth to Alice Springs to Melbourne. Yesi do miss the support, but with Skype and the telephone they don't feel so far away. Plus we have regular visits as everyone wants to come to Melbourne. It's your life and you don't want to go through it saying what if.

    I agree to do it! We have lived in a few different places now since having DS. The furtherest we went was about 8 hrs by car away from my parents. But we are probably going to live overseas at the end of next year. I want to experience living in another country and I want DS to see some of the world and how others live. Two years sounds like a long time but it is pretty short really. I think if you actually want to do it then go for it!

    Just do it! We are about to move to our 4th new city since DS was born (he is 4). We haven't had choice in any of our moves and it sucks to move away from family and I do feel guilty, especially leaving my mum behind again. But you have to look at the opportunity and positives for you and your kids. Skype and cheap calls etc make it a lot better to stay in touch than a few decades ago
