You said that all your family on both sides is in san diego. You are talking about your unemployment checks buying more in colorado. That is NOT a sound basis for a move! If the primary breadwinner had been transferred, then you tell the kid that the family just has to move. But in this case, i think you should seriously consider staying near family and looking harder for work in SD. You do not have jobs or family in CO. The unemployment checks will run out, and you will not be near family for help.

You may be jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire unless you have jobs and housing lined up already.

An excellent point. I really should resist C-D when I'm exhausted.

More years of suffering
No offense, but maybe Florida has a better school district than where you're currently at, and maybe they teach proper grammar and sentence structure because your current school hasn't done that. I can barely understand what you're trying to say and it's an incoherent ramble.

But overall, kids are kids, and kids have to go where their parents want them to go. Kids don't get opinions in moving. I'm not sure why some parents feel their kids get to set their life for them, but until a child is 18 years old, the kid doesn't get to dictate a parent's life. And even at that, a kid doesn't dictate a parent's life, but a child can then chose for themselves where they want to live and the parent can move on.

I disagree with that mentality. Kids should have an opinion on major life choices. That doesn't mean they should have an equal say in it but their views should at least be considered on the matter.
