I agree just be honest about it. It will not be easy I am sure but if your family is not happy with Houston it will be the best decision for you. Ill be back out in AZ or NV in 6-7 years too. It is tough doing the outdoor things here when you must drive so far to get anywhere such as Big Bend.

I'm just the opposite
I moved here in 2006 to get away from AZ for the same reasons you want to go back. I've hunted and fished for years and had seen how AZ had went down hill the previous 25 years, getting drawn for a hunt gets harder and harder every year. Areas where I used to deer, javalina quail and dove hunt are all houses now.
I lived in north Scottsdale and the schools were marginal at best.
I did a ton of research before I moved to Texas and ended up in Boerne and I have no regrets.
Their are a lot of places in Texas beside Houston.
FYI I wouldn't live in Houston if they made me the Mayor

Personally, if my kids were gonna move across the country and take my grandkid out of my everyday life so they'd have better access to hiking, I'd be crushed. There are plenty of great places outside of Houston to raise a kid. I can assure you that AZ has it's own problems, because every place does. On the other hand, you gotta do what is best for you and your family.
If you "have a job" within the family business, that's one thing. If you are vital to the operations of the family business, then you need to make sure that any transition is smooth and planned out and doesn't put your Dad in a bind. If your Dad has planned his future based on the fact that you were the future of the business, then your decision could make him have to reevaluate his plans. Whatever the case, take him to lunch and talk to him about it sooner rather than later. Good luck.Originally posted by gingib View Postx2!
But family means everything to me. So I am staying in the country close to my parents and in laws.
Texan born and not leaving here
I know Az has its own flaws (lived there for almost 3 years), no place is perfect

That's a tough decision. I've passed up on some great jobs because it would mean moving away from my family. I didn't grow up with any grandparents around and it's great being able to have my parents or in laws hang out with our daughter whenever they want. But you gotta do what is best for your family... getting out of Houston would be my first choice but even the areas around there aren't bad

That's why I'm the best man in my other Brother's wedding and he isn't.

Every big city has it’s really bad and really good areas. There’s still good places to raise a kid in the Houston area with easy and cheap access to hiking and some great saltwater fishing. Hunting can be pricey but still doable on a budget. Have you considered moving across town instead of across country?
As far as dealing with your dad goes, you should know better than anyone how to approach that. Go with your gut.
