Not rationalizing at all, just weighing up the positives
We did it with our kids, not only moved house and school but moved country and language too, best thing we ever did for ourselves as a family
It wasn't an easy choice to leave everything you know and are familiar with but my wife and I decided if we didn't do it we would never do it and would always regret not doing it
As others have said on here do it before high school as all the other kids won't have found their individual groups by then which is harder for new kids to break into.
Your kids will thank you for it and you'll be a stronger. tighter family because of it
My wife and I would like to do one more move, hopefully to the USA but this can wait until our kids have finished high school/college
