Where do you draw the line when your kid wants what you dont


That title might be confusing. I’ve been offered a career job 5 hours away. It’s a sizable pay raise, the guy I want to build my future with is there, and it’s pretty much the exact job I’ve been working for 10 years to get. Before I applied I asked my daughter what she thought about moving (she’s 6) and she was excited about it. She’s excited to be by him, and his kids. And said “we can still come back and visit everyone” then once I told her I got a job she I guess told her dad she doesn’t want to go. Before anyone jumps at me, his visitation schedule wouldn’t change unless he changes it. So she’s not seeing him any less. She told me she will miss her sitters house and friends there. But once school starts back up she won’t be there anyways. I feel good about the move and job, but after 2 days of arguing with her dad I feel heavy about it and he keeps telling me I’m a bad parent who doesn’t have her interest in mind at all, and I’m starting to wonder if it’s true.For context: he left when I was 8 months pregnant. He’s always until 2020 lived 4.5 hours away and we’ve met halfway to swap her off every other weekend. He doesn’t want to do that anymore and it sounds like he told her he wouldn’t see her as much if she goes. I have single parent raised her for her entire life. We currently live with my parents because I can’t find a job making enough to have a decent life on here in our town.Idk. Outside thoughts would be welcomed. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3wf6aA8
