re: Moving before daughter's senior year of high school

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

Boohoo. Figure it out. The kid is 17..she has decades to live and make new friends.

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.

Living in Sherman and working in dallas is doable for the sake of your daughter

My kids moved like that with me but they both kind of enjoyed it. They move into new circles with ease. But it did cause them to see moving as the cure for any tough situation.
Yeah when I got older it definitely turned into a positive.
But moving to cure a tough situation is also a by-product. I have no problem packing up all my shite and moving across the country. SO was born and raised in small Cajun town. Totally different mind set about moving.

Either your wife or your daughter won't be happy and will seek the BBC. Pick one.

This kid must attend some awesome school for folks to suggest so strongly that her senior year experience drive the parents' career and location decisions.
Hell, most kids in Louisiana would be better off if the family moved out of state (except MS) for school.

If you move around a lot this isn't a big deal. If she's going to be a senior next year, that means she's been with this group of friends since what, third grade?
I'd leave it to her. If she really wants to graduate with these people she's known, tell her you'll make every effort to accommodate that, but that it might not be possible.
FWIW, the summer before my senior year, my father took a job in another city. We spent several weekends there that summer looking at houses, but I really wasn't psyched about moving my last year. They decided to let me finish where I was. During the school year, one of my close friend's mother moved away. He moved in with us until we went off to college.

You literally said the exact same thing as at least 20 other people

Not a bad idea
If she has that close of friends maybe she can just finish her senior year at a friend's or relative.. and you can visit on weekends somehow..
No idea though, have you gotten any feedback from her?
And exactly when do you have to move?
