we've been living in the same place for almost 6 months now so obviously it's time to start thinking about moving on. seriously though, i went to a session on childcare and schooling and it totally freaked me out. i've dealt with all sorts of issues since G was born (lack of sleep, feeding issues etc) and none of them have phased me but thinking about her schooling got me totally stressed, and of course, if i'm stressed, i find it impossible not to encourage the cg to join in the misery. the problem is that it's not easy to get your kids into a good school. basically you need to be living in a good area (and even then it's not guarenteed). there are issues around where we are going to be in a couple of years time and concerns about where the cg can find a job if he wants to move onto pastures greener (basically his best option is London). So anyway, we ended up having a heated debate about whether we should have stayed in Canada and then about living in/around London (something i said i would never do again because i don't want the cg to be spending half his day commuting) and then about whether we even wanted the same things out of life (he wants to live in a city, i'm not sure it's the best option for bringing up a child). in the end we decided that we do want the same things, we can make this work so we are all happy and we will be moving to a commuter town outside London in the next year or so. i'm happy with that. i already have a place in mind which has a great girls grammar school and a 40 minute commute to London :)
