Hmm, is my thinking backwards then? The reason I'm considering a commute is my daughter just started high school this year. Due to military moves, she saw 4 different schools by the time she hit 7th grade and I just want some stability in her life. Do you think one more move is worth the trade off of more time at home vs. being the new kid one more time? I know there is no right answer, but I wouldn't mind hearing from those who have been there.
