I feel like a really horrible mum but i think i might need to change my 10 year old sons school for the best.
A bit of back story we moved about 15 minutes in by car to a new area in our town towards the end of last year, we initially wanted to settle our children at the catchment area school ( its a really good one) and our daughter was starting nursery so we wanted her to start there too.
Only my son was so upset that we ended up letting him stay at his old school and put my daughter in the old school nursery too.
My son who is quite introverted has taken to constantly staying in his room, he has no friends in our new area and i blame this on not being able to meet any new friends via school.
i decided the other day enough was enough and hard choices need to be made and it will benefit him in the long run if he meets friends nearby and we stop living our life in our old area. It also means i would need to drive to do 3 pickups a day and we could walk and have a much nicer standard of living.
So am i being unreasonable to pluck a 10 year old out of everything that is familiar to him or do you agree with me that hard things need to be done sometimes? what would you do?
