r23y 2 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 There is no way it is going to happen I have tried for the last week.She is very close to her family and I told her I will not go with out her.

Mercury69 3 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 How far away is Vegas from where you are now?Seriously, sacrificing this for your wife's family is just going to screw you in the long term, imo. The grandparents can piss off, AFAIC. Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury69 3 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I am in the midwest.I will not leave my wife or my girls.I can totally understand this, but it's your wife that needs to realise she's inhibiting your ability to progress in the workplace and, in the longterm, provide a better support foundation for your kids and extended famuily. Wherever you are, Vegas is a 2 hour MAX flight and, with a better paying job, you can arrange for the grandparents to come out regularly (and soon you'll be paying for this with AirMiles), you'd probably be able to afford a house with an extra room to put them up in, etc.Your wife can go visit her family every other freakin' weekend ffs.Unless, of course, you already live somewhere supercool, but you probably don't, so...lol @ this thread putting me on tilt Link to post Share on other sites
sandwedge 30 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Being near your daughters > living in Vegas, imo.We don't have all the facts. Is this a huge promotion, or a small one? Are you happy with your current situation? How old are your daughters, and do you have pics (just kidding, but this IS OT, and somebody had to say it).I love Vegas as much as anybody, but I'm not sure I'd want to raise a family there. If you're content with your life right now, then there's no problem in turning the offer down, and vacationing in Vegas from time to time. Decisions like this are about what's best for the whole family. Link to post Share on other sites

Mercury69 3 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Sandwedge and Dratj are right, of course. I'm more concerned with the apparent lack of flexibility of your wife and I come from a family that hasn't beenn, for the most part, close like that, although I'd certainly miss them if they weren't around. I haven't lived in the same city as my kids for over 15 years now... Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Obviously we don't know the whole story but if the job is more money and allows for even more growth then I think I would have a hard time not going because grandparents want to see their grandchildren. As stated earlier, Vegas is not on the other side of the world or anything. My wife and I are going to adopt and there is a chance that we might be living in Virginia in the next 6 months or so. Both sets of parents would hate to see us move away but they understand that moving is probably the best thing we could do for our family and while they are waiting on pins and needles for us to adopt they are willing to sacrifice in order to see that we do what is best. I am pretty certain my wife does not want to move away from her family, but she knows that for me, my best chances of success are in the DC area and not here and that ultimately means it is best for us.
