I don’t know what to do. I moved to a town and hour away from where I grew up because that’s where my parents bought a house. 4 years later… I HATE it here. My grandma just passed away and I might have the opportunity to move into that home. My parents don’t want to follow me. My parent help us a lot with the kids and finances sometimes. And I feel so guilty wanting to leave and I feel like they may be guilt tripping me as well or it might just be my paranoid feelings… there’s nothing for me in this community. I’ve had issue after issue and I just wanna go “home”.

So go where you can be happy. A hour away isn’t that bad. And the end of the day you have your own family now and need to do what is best for them and you. Talk to your parents; they should support you in whatever you do.

You’ve already made your mind up that you aren’t happy. You’re are Momma - do what is right for your kids. Sometimes, parents have to go through a lil’ pain for their children to prosper. You haven’t said anything about the schools or children’s feelings- kind of selfish. To think you’d even want your parents to follow sounds even more pathetic. You Need To Grow Up
Just leave and take care of your kids and get a job , that way you will not be needing your parents help
Need to do what’s best for you and your kids. And you feeling alone, not comfortable where you are then you need to go home. It’s only an hour

Grow up and stand on your own two feet. That’s what they had to do.

It actually sounds like there’s a lot for you where you are. Your parents, free child care, financial aide.

Grow up. You got kids to worry about. This isn’t about you. 
You’re an adult, do what you need to do for you and your family but id also be sure you can handle things on your own. Find a good paying job so you have child care and what not.
Follow your heart and everything will work out
Don’t let anybody try to guilt trip you into staying somewhere you don’t feel at home. I did this and let me be honest once my son is graduated from high school in 2 years I’ll be moving somewhere else. Don’t feel guilty for wanting to do something better for you, your partner, and your children.
Will it be hard at first? Absolutely but it’s time to stand on your feet by yourself and not rely on your parents anymore for financial help anymore.
Your parents can drive that hour to see the grandkids if they truly want to. And you can probably make that hour drive and drop the kids off at grandma and grandpas for a couple nights (Friday/Saturday) than have a family dinner on Sunday when you guys pick the kids up.
You got this. Remember in the beginning of transitioning to a new location will be hard at first especially for the kids but it’ll get easier as each day goes by.
