That's too bad because her senior year is going to suck now. Make up for it by buying her a new car.

My wife said she lived with a friend's family part or most of her senior year in high school since her family moved from south Carolina to Louisiana. Always an option.

meh... it's just one year
it would be worse if she was a freshman or sophomore who has been in the same school system her entire life

Anyone else been through this?
We have a couple of kids at work doing this. One kid, her Dad's job got moved overseas. She's staying with family here until she finishes her senior year. Another's Mom's job was moved to Cinci and she drives to Cinci on the weekends while staying with an Aunt here.

I'd never speak to my parents again if they did something like that to me

My parents moved from SC to Ga before my senior year. Luckily, they gave me the choice to stay with a friend for my senior year. I am SO grateful they allowed me to do this. I would recommend you doing the same for your daughter. IMO, pretty cruel to make her miss her senior year and start all over for one year.

I moved to a different state after 10th grade and then moved to another state after 11th grade for my senior year, so 3 different HSs for my final 3 years.
All I can say is that it sucked at the time, but it paid dividends for my social game later in life. There is not a social situation now in which I'm uncomfortable.
My dad was in the army so I just had to deal with it.

No.
It will be tough and you should do everything you can to avoid it.

Is she staying where you live at now for college? Get her an apt now. You can be gone. She can live there alone. You come visit whenever. When I was a sophomore they had a jr from Africa. Blackest guy I've ever seen. Anyway, his parents must have been loaded. They were still on the other side of the world he had a car and lived by himself in a place that they paid for at 17. Brah we got hammered at this kids. He made really good grades though. How much does she drink? Is she responsible ?

My cousin moved from Virginia to Hawaii the summer before her senior year. She had no issue with it, but she is very outgoing and a military kid so that may have something to do with it.

Your daughters path to starring in adult films has started. Way to be a dick but also thanks!

I've read they've done a study and kids that moved around during school do better than kids that stay in the same area. I guess because it forces them to learn social skills and how to adapt to new situations. It's going to be difficult on her for sure, but it could have positive aspects as well. Tough situation.

Just found out we are very likely moving before our youngest finishes high school. My wife's job is being moved to Dallas or Phoenix. We are pretty tore up for our daughter. It is gonna be tough on her.
Oh but at least you and the wife's career advanced.
Don't be a dickbag. Find anyway possible for her to finish high school where she's at. You're truly doing her a disservice and it isn't fair. You should feel bad.

A good friend's family moved to Canada before his senior year, so he lived with us to finish out high school.
Worked fine for all involved.

I've been through it-we moved halfway through my son's Jr. year. He had offers to live with other families and finish out school, but he didn't want to do it. He didn't have any trouble making friends, but he stopped playing sports. We made another move 2 years ago chasing retirement and may very well move to one of the hubs in Dallas or Atlanta.

Find somewhere she can stay. With friends. If not, she'll adjust to the move
Posted on 9/12/17 at 10:33 pm to ShermanTxTiger
Boohoo. Figure it out. The kid is 17..she has decades to live and make new friends.
Posted on 9/12/17 at 10:34 pm to ShermanTxTiger
Wife moves, you stay in the area until she graduates.

Many standard OT answers here and they should be ignored.
I am going to be straight, figure out how to keep her there for her last year. Family is the most important thing in life, not jobs.
I had a similar issue, my Mom decided to stay back and Dad went off to the new job. She moved to join him after about 6 months and I finished out staying with friends.
Everyone was happier for it. Do not be a crappy parent, we have enough of those in the world.
