Everyone has been trying to get me to Tennessee - and I love that state.
Everything is great.. BUT ... the homeschooling laws.
Not to start another argument, but I’m anti-vaccination. I don’t tolerate, and won’t tolerate, any government or authority body making such requirements.
To teach my kids what I want, and to give them the medical treatment that I believe is appropriate. That’s why I can’t do Tennessee.
But thanks for kicking that in ! My parents are moving to Tennessee at some point, and have urged me to come. I was looking at this corner of Appalachia to be somewhat close to our family is all planning to move.
We’ll be moving far, far away from any friends and family. That’s a big decision. They are all in deep communist Connecticut at the moment - which puts us about 2 hours from them. That’s great to visit on the weekends and the such. From here, we’ll never see this family again unless they move down.
I don’t fly (Cost and TSA) and they don’t drive (Because they live in CT and make a ton of money but they are all flat-broke poor). They don’t even visit us here because they have $2000 a month in bills and can’t afford tires on their car.
It’s crazy. The Northeast is crazy. Flat out. There is no reward in living there. The whole state of CT is like Detroit.
Have your parents settled upon a particular area of TN? Proximity would settle the matter, then. If they’re right up against the Smokies then NC is an obvious choice. If they’re north, then KY might come into play or VA. If south, GA or even northwest Alabama, which is actually quite lovely and Huntsville holds a lot of charm. People have Alabama all wrong, the stereotype just does not apply.
