Moving and kids

So we have to move by January 31. We found a nice place in the country, 5 bedrooms, land, affordable, but it's in another town about 45 minutes away. The bad news is my older boys, ages 15 & 16, are throwing a fit & the place needs some work. Good news is I love the place & we're way closer to my grown daughter, son in law, grandson & my parents. My question is...will the boys get over it? Remember they got involved with drugs & alcohol at this current school. It may just be the best thing, but it still bothers me that they're so upset.
I should also mention it's hard for a family of 10 to find a place that will rent to you. Lol

    Very very good idea for you to move them. They're either going to get worst or get their shit together. Sorry for my language.

    You and hubby pay the bill if they don't like it tuff, get over it. Not the end of the world. I'm happy for you and all our family.:) your grand kids, parents all will be close together.

    kinda sounds like what happend to me, my family had to move, so my moms uncle offered to rent us his house, & it was 15/20 minutes from where we grew up. & has tech. 3 bedrooms + basement. but my mom made the room off of the livingroom into a room for my brother (whos 23!!!) and i get a room, parents get a room & my little brother & my son share a room (which is horrible, because my brother has to be woken up for school by 630, and my son gets woken up) but im 21, so its not like im forced to stay here, ill be gone once i find a job, car & save!!!

    We've moved liked 8 times in the last 12 years, it sucks! I feel bad for the older ones, but I home school the younger ones so it doesn't matter as much.

    I would think its a good thing, it'll help break the older ones away from their bad friends.

    Agree with natashalynn I think it will be good hopefully there will be less of a chance of the older ones getting into trouble. Good luck hun! I think if you often. I hope everything works out for the best.

    The house fell through, so we're searching again. It's so hard for us to find someone willing to take such a large family. People automatically think we're gonna tear it up when I'm more organized & clean than many renters with 1 or 2 kids. Ugh..it's so frustrating & we only have until Jan. 31st to be out. Thanks for thinking of me @stella :)

    Honestly i wouldnt care. They need to move away. The only reason they r upset is bc of their friends and blah blah blah. You will be closer to your family you said what could be better for them. They r probably gonna act like they hate you for a while but you pay the bills and wherever is best for you to rent it needs to be done they will get over it.
