We moved from queensland to tassie nearly 2 years ago, and we put our place on the market last september because we want to go back to queensland.

I'm not sorry we moved down here, but we do feel guilty that we have taken away the grandkids from DH's parents - these kids are the only grandkids they have, and they are missing out on seeing them grow up. They are on a pension so can't afford to come down, and we can't afford to fly everyone up (its about 2 grand for all of us!)

I miss my siblings as well I have great friends down here (really really awesome friends) but their kids aren't my kids cousins, and I loved growing up with my cousins, and I want my kids to have that.

I don't regret moving down here - at all - because I had two beautiful births down here that I probably wouldn't have got in Queensland, and I met some great girls down here who have become like my surrogate family. Plus I got to see my nan for the first time in 20 years before she died.

But I miss my mum. And the biggest thing for us (apart from my IL's) - that if someone in our family dies, we can't afford to fly up there for a funeral. And I would hate that.

So we've done it, dealt with the guilt for a year, and then made the decision to move back. And we are still waiting because our place hasn't sold.

Good luck with what you decide to do, you can always move back if its not the right "fit" for you
