Like, crying about it for months. We listened to her concerns but we moved anyway, and she is now so happy. She loves our new neighborhood more than she ever love her old one. She just doesn’t like change. So while I would be respectful of your kids’ concerns and listen to whatever objections they might have, I wouldn’t necessarily consider them dispositive.
