Looking at a drastic change in my kids' situation and need advice.


Hi all. Struggling with some planning for the future and could use some friendly advice from people who have moved away from their kids' other parent.I became involved with someone who has close to unlimited resources, but unfortunately lives halfway across the country from me, most of the time. My kids are almost 7 and 9, and my exhusband and I live close together and share them just about 50/50. The new relationship, if we go through with getting married (which we are planning to) would mean that I'd want to move out to his place. He has the resources and desire to hire private tutors so that school attendance wouldn't be an issue, fly the kids and me back and forth in his jet and understands my stance that I will not take the kids away from their dad (even if he isn't great, an involved dad is better than no dad, and an active stepdad is just a supplement to that, not a replacement).I guess what I'm struggling with is how that would affect the kids (if at all). Have you ever moved away from an ex who was trying to be a good parent? How did your children react? What accommodations did you make in the meantime? Ultimately, how did it turn out for your children, and mentally, for you? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2uCqVsy
