[QUOTE="Malika, post: 530180, member: 11227"] Ah Buddy, village fever... seems the more you stay in a village, the harder it becomes to leaves :) Some people here are judgemental but... are they any less judgemental anywhere else, I wonder? The thing is that as long as things are going well for J at the village school, knowing that routine and stability are important for him, that the transition would be difficult and that there is no guarantee things would be as good elsewhere... it becomes impossible to justify leaving. If things were to start being less successful at school, I would certainly think again. And then... there are lovely, open people in this village just as there are closed, narrow-minded ones. I do still dream of having my own space, my own garden, being right in the heart of nature rather just on the doorstep of it but... take it day by day, doing the best I can as things are here and now. That's my best self-prescription! Thanks for the vote of confidence! I mess up regularly, of course, and feel something of a fraud as a good parent but... I keep trying, I s'pose. [/QUOTE]
