Everwhere is walking distance if you have the time

She is feeding her. I'll have to disagree with you there. I know both school districts very well and moving them north is going to be much more difficult for D12. It's a much more affluent school district and you are defined by what you drive and how expensive your clothes are rather than your ability or personality. Her current district is much more diverse.

And D9 is finally settled at her school so moving her would make less than zero sense.

But then again XW doesn't think ahead. She doesn't save money. She doesn't investigate alternatives. Her financial spiral is all her making. Her only goal is to live closer to her mom.

XW threatened to move out of the district two years ago and last year. She's always been jealous of the flexibility of my job. Had she been able to sell she would have moved them already.

If she does, that means I'll go from seeing them 86 percent of the days during the school year to 36 percent. I ask you, would you be happy if you went from seeing your kids 12 out of 14 days to 5 out of 14?

Barb and GM, you are speaking as the custodial parents. The line about moving 3 hours away from the father and the "we make it work" thing. Well, I'm guessing he might have a different reaction.

In the end, it doesn't really matter. I just rent my house and if she does move to another district and I'm unhappy with the amount of time I see them then I'll pick up and move into that district as well. I will not be marginalized.
