It's hard to make the decision to move especially with older children that are set-in-there-ways, just as much as you are. With my kids, my oldest is 12 and he is the kind of kid that just goes with it. I look at it this way, I traded hurricanes for tornados. At least with a hurricane you get some notice to pack up and go. If you don't mind me asking - where are you close to? I lived in Maryland until I turned 18 - then to Florida for the Navy. Hope all works out for you! What kid wouldn't want the beach? Paula - thanks for replying.

I want to move, but the kids don't. But I want to move and have my own house, not move in with my fiance. It's too many steps at once to move in together, become a family, get married, and move over 1000 miles away. He says he needs to move now because of something his doctor told him about needing a warmer climate because he probably has seasonal affective disorder (SAD), which is probably true judging by his symptoms. I think his diagnosis is SAD with a touch of middle-life crisis, but I hate cold weather too, so I'm going to go down and at least check it out. If I don't go by this August, I'll be stuck in expensive, cold Maryland for another 4 years (youngest ending eighth grade this year; eldest ending twelfth grade this year). Ugh! So I'm torn between the wonderful warmth of Florida (yes, I like it hot, very hot) and my kids not wanting to leave their friends...that they are going to leave anyway when they enter high school and college respectively. Should I trade the discomfort of cold weather season for hurricane season? What to do! My fiance wants me and the kids to move with him to Florida from Maryland. I want to move, but the kids don’t.
