Does this kid pay the mortgage or something? Sorry but her senior year of HS doesn't pay the bills. She needs to suck it up and deal with life. Make the move.

Is your wife the main money maker?

If so let her get a place in the new town while you stay home.

Just know though what's gonna happen at her new place

She does not. She is higher on the food chain though. We are both managers. We both have good jobs and make almost the same. I make a little more because I get paid a little more to travel.

Yea if you are a shitty parent. Any decent parent would figure out a way to let the daughter finish out a year of school. You make sacrifices for you children.

Your daughter will be fine,'ale some new friends and end up with a larger group of friends than she began with having two schools. Going to college next year so will all be good - you are overthinking it.

We are pretty tore up for our daughter.




Like sad? Is that what that means? Why not just say sad? Or feel bad for?




It's a Freudian slip. He knows she's gonna get tore up by the BBC. I'm referring to his daughter, but probably the wife too now that I think about it.

Happened to me. Moved from Lafayette to Charlotte at the end of my junior year. It was very tough, but if your kid is fairly well adjusted, she'll be okay.

You've never heard this expression?

Why say any other word for feeling sad when we can just say "sad". Time to strike these words from our dictionaries:

bereaved, bitter, blue, cheerless, dejected, despairing, despondent, disconsolate, dismal, distressed, doleful, down, down in dumps, down in mouth, downcast, forlorn, gloomy, glum, grief-stricken, grieved, heartbroken, heartsick, heavyhearted, hurting, in doldrums, in grief, in the dumps, languishing, low, low-spirited, lugubrious, melancholy, morbid, morose, mournful, out of sorts, pensive, pessimistic, sick at heart, somber, sorrowful, sorry, troubled, weeping, wistful, woebegone

Easy solution. Get a rent house for a year and stay down here with your daughter till she finishes school. It literally happens all the time In similar situations. You make sacrifices when you have kids.


My job requires me to travel a lot. (200 days a year average) No way we can stay behind for her senior year. We moved to Illinois from Texas in 2009. Looks like we may be going back.

Our oldest is in Grad school at U of Maryland, our middle daughter graduates this year and wants to attend ULL They will not be impacted

Why is this an excuse? She's going to be living on her own in a year. My parents trusted me enough to go out of town for a week or two at a time.

Rule #1 as a dad is to keep your daughter off the pole.

Moving her senior year definitely isn't going to help that out.

My parents moved right before my senior year. Literally 2 days before school started.

Let her stay the summer, she will be bored as shite at a new place with no friends. At least during the school year she can meet new folks.

All worked out good for me except I lost TOPS when we moved from LA to AL.

Just found out we are very likely moving before our youngest finishes high school



figure something else out then. Don't be shitty parents and rip her out. Let her finish even if you have to stay while your wife takes her new job.

I don't know. Going off to college living in a dorm and/or with roommates seems a lot different than leaving a high schooler home alone for extended periods of time.

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


-not a parent

Not setting up two households or not leaving your child in someone else's care does not equal being a shitty parent. A good parent could go either way depending on circumstance.

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.
