My husband has been offered a job in NYC. He will be losing his job in TX in 6 to 10 months. So we are really considering the move to say the least. He would be working in the city so we would probably rent near his work. Haven't quite figured out where we would live just yet.
So things in TX are so different I can hardly even comprehend how we would even get around. I know we would take public trans so how do things like car seats work? DD is about to turn 2yr old. Also would any one recommend a stroller? We have a chico umbrella but we don't use it often and I am guessing we would use a stroller much more.
Right now we have a 1638 square ft house full of furniture and toys. We would probably sell most of our things and buy new/used stuff once we got there and could get things to fit our space better.
Does everyone just take there kids to places like parks to play?
What do people do with the kiddos during the winter? Hard to even imagine walking to buy groceries in the snow.. Speaking of groceries I know this will sound stupid. But are there grocery stores? Or is it more like markets?
Any other tips anyone would have. I know if we turn this new page in our lives I am in for major shock.
Oh and one other thing this might be a little personal for some but for those that are stay at home moms what does DH make and what area of the city/ near the city do you live? DH will probably be making around 80k a year maybe a little more so we are trying to figure out if that would even be possible for me to still be a stay at home mom. I didn't go to college so I wouldn't be a lot of help if I worked.
Oh also we don't vax and have never had any problems. We are planning to home school. Would we run into an issues with this in NY? or just your regular stuff.
