You are obviously young, you could tell her that you would be worried about the disruption it could have on your schooling, but on the other hand you should really respect your mums wishes as there could be an important/valid reason for her wanting to move.

seconded.

why don't you tell her that you don't want to move, and why you don't want to. then listen to her reasons for wanting to move, but respect that ultimately it's her choice although knowing your opinion may help her make the choice.

tartwithahart - I know it must be very daunting for you, but the neighbour across the road wanted to move to a bigger house & area with more prospects. Their daughter (aged 14) was very upset, she didn't want to leave the house & all her friends behind.

However, they did move & 8 months on, I've received a nice letter saying that Lizzie loves it where they've moved to. She has settled into her newly decorated house/bedroom, loves the garden, school & has made lots of new friends.

So don't despair - I bet you'll love it once you're in your new home. Good luck. -x-

wht does your mum want to move? Has she explained her reasons to you? My experience is that while you may still be sad or worried about moving, it's easier to take when you understand why.

Not sure of your age, but however old or young you are. Ithink that you need to sit down with your Mum and talk about this, how you both feel, why she wants (needs?) to move and how you can both work this out. If you are 18 or older, then you might have more input to the decision, especially if you contribute to household expenses, but if you are one of our (much) younger AB'ers then you will have to go along with her decision. I, among others on this site have moved loads of times and lived in five different areas of England and also in america, its okay, sometimes its even fun!!
