[quote=NYMom]FlyerInHi…thanks for the comments. Respectfully, I disagree that he should decide. This decision should be based on what’s best for our children first and foremost. I do agree that it will be hard to find, but am hopeful that there are people in CA that want that same community and want to raise their kids the right way. It’s these fears that keep me up at night.[/quote]
Hmm. You do realize that virtually every parent wants to raise their children “the right way”? There simply isn’t an agreement about what that is. You refer to the fears that keep you up at night, but you don’t identify them. Is your fear that CA people don’t want to be part of a community and don’t care about their kids….? Or do you worry that the culture here is different than what you’re used to (it probably is …)
I’m afraid that you will be very unlikely to find a large yard, top schools, the locations that you’ve mentioned etc. on your budget. I suppose it depends on what schools would be acceptable. Maybe 4s ranch? But no village feel … I think you need to prioritize.
