My mom just told me her and my dad made the decision to retire full time to Florida in 2018. They're currently part timers who are there a few months each winter.

It makes me sad as hell because she asked if I would ever consider relocating and of course DH would never do that to the skids. For better or worse I do care about my parents very much. Granted, they can drive me insane. If I ever have a child I would want to be a driving distance from my parents but now that probably will not happen. What's worse is I am sure my sister and her (kid free) man will relocate too.

I have been doing SO WELL and now I feel the resentment creeping back in.

I know it would hurt the kids and I truly would never want them to feel abandoned. Ever. I just feel like having a pity party of one for today. Just to mourn my feelings. I hate winters here. I suppose I would miss fall, I enjoy the scenery and crisp air, but once November ends I despise it. I belong in the warmth.

DH said maybe a few years from now when they are a bit older we could consider it. I highly doubt that will happen, probably just said to placate me.
