Moving


Question Posted Monday March 14 2005, 10:44 pm

My parents (my mom mostly) want to move to Ireland. My mom grew up there and most of her family is there. I love it when we go up there because it's so fun. I love my family and I love the times we have when I go there but I don't want to move there.

But, I don't exactly like it here. I mean I like the area I live in but not my school. The people that go there are so...actually, I can't come up with a word for them. There is so much drama and everyone is so fake and they all have such big mouths. I know most high schools are like that but other schools in my district aren't. I have a chance to switch schools because of rezoning but not until the school year after next (I'm a freshman I'll be able to switch after my sophomore year).

Well, my mom wants to move after my sophomore year. I need to convince my mom to let me stay at least one more year than planned so I can see if I like my new school.

And if that doesn't work, I want to try to get her to let me switch schools now (at the end of my freshman year) because I honestly don't know if I can go through another school year at that school.

sounds like you have everything planned out. well i guess thats always a plus. i think you should convince her to let you switch schools after your freshman year so that way you will get an idea of what the school is like. also if you do switch after your freshman year and you dont like it, and you do move to ireland, then you will have at least one experience from switching schools. im sure it would be a lot of fun in ireland although things would be really different (of course you know that!) if you guys do move to ireland and you dont like it then you can always try to convince your parents to move back to the states. honestly, i would WANT to move to ireland. but thats just my opinion.

Yeah I guess It'd be really hard go somewhere different and move away from everything that you're so used to...I think you should..so you can start all over..sorry if this didn't help :-)

What a wonderful opportunity! If they decide to move you'll have to go. Don't get upset about it.
It doesn't sound like you'll be missing that much even in a new school.Change is always difficult but I bet once you get there you will just love it.

Well, you seem some-what confused about the idea of whether you want to move or not. Moving to new schools and practically having a new life is scary, my parents would never move me out of my neighborhood because they basically know that we would miss it and hate it, and it would just be devastating. But, I understand why your parents want to move, close friends and family, but you should talk to her about it, just say, "Mom, I have a lot of fun when I go to Ireland, but I don't know if its fun enough to actually move there, I need help, can you please try to help me decide whether its better or not?" And tell her about your school, and how you feel about it, and maybe she will assure you. I hope that whichever school you end up in that its ok for you.

Dear Moving,
Hmmmmmm....you're asking for advice here when the person you should be speaking to about this is your mom. In this matter, she really does hold the power for the decision. A few thoughts though...

It sounds as if your parents are just at the stage where they are batting around the idea, so it at least gives you a little bit of time. (it's a big move to pack up and live in another country) I think you should first try to determine how serious they are about moving to Ireland. (I've heard it's a lovely place!) Then before you approach your mom, have some questions ready so you can figure out how close they are to making that decision. It doesn't sound as if you are totally opposed to the idea, so if you come at her with that good attitude, you may be able to suggest some options that would accomodate the whole family. Good luck!
Linda
