Has anyone else felt reaaaaaaally reaaaally sad about moving house?The ILs have decided to split so to help the family out DF and I are moving into a bigger house so that his mum and 2 younger sisters can live with us while his parents clear their debts. Last week I was excited..looking through the new house..5 bedroom, 2 lounge areas, 2 bathrooms (ensuite in our bedroom)..so enough space for us all...and the living arrangements is set for about 1.5 years. BUT I'm just so sad to be leaving our home. We've been here for 2.5 years, DS has had all his birthdays here. It's our first family home...and I never thought we would leave until we buy our own home. Our LLs are amazing, they let us have this place with no references and no real prior renting experience. They've been more like friends, and allowed us to really make this place our own, and have trusted us so much with their place. I will be eternally grateful to them. Just so sad...had a big ole cry about it last night (reminded me of when I had a big ole cry about not wanting to move to Oz lol). I'm slowly working through the sadness...guess it doesn't help that AFs due lol. I am gonna come drive past the house every so often..that makes me feel good lol. -------------

It's totally normal! You get used to places, build memories etc.
Just think of all the great new memories you're going to have at your new place!  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

| I haven't cried yet, but have felt sad. When Mum and Dad sold the house that Dad built, and I grew up in (they sold it about 3-4 years ago?), it felt like the end of an era (and the first time they raised the issue I burst into tears and told them they couldn't do it, because it was our house, and it wasn't right - thankfully they waited a few more months so I got used to the idea). I wanted to raise my kids in that house one day (pipe dreams). I'm not sure how I will feel when we sell this house and move. At the moment, I would probably feel relieved, but there are also memories...the girls coming home for the first time, most of their firsts basically....and yeah. |

Yeah def much worser after you have kids. Never really been sad about moving apart from when I use to go down to Dunedin to study...and when we moved over to Oz. Am feeling better, especially knowing that I'm not the only one! lol......and yep I've cried for cars as well lolz..not too often though..oh and pets. We've kinda come full circle..before Kahtrell was born and for his first 11 months of life we stayed with the ILs while we got back on our feet from returning from Oz...now a couple years later the tables are turned and it's the ILs who are needing help. Just talking about it has helped greatly, so thanks so much ladies. -------------
