A year ago we moved to Tassie (from Perth) so that our son can be near his grandparents. My FIFO job means that my husband has been able to stay at home for the past year but I don't think he considers that a positive (he's somewhat of a workaholic). He doesn't seem to be totally enamoured with the place and has suggested moving again.
I think perhaps if the roles were reversed, he'd be much happier doing FIFO and I could stay at home (not much work in Tassie, and not well paid). This is a possibility in the near future.
Tassie is admittedly a bit sleepy even for me, but I think having my son's grandparents nearby while he's little is more important than living in a more "exciting" place.
Thoughts? If you had a choice between living somewhere you really like and somewhere "ok" because the family is nearby, what would you choose?
