+title: a move to Hornsea? trying to get my thoughts straight

+okay, there's a lot to unpack here...  
+
+The background: me (age 44), my wife (Erin, age 42) and two daughters (Jessica age 9 and Bella age 7) currently live close to my family, in a village called Werrington on the outskirts of Stoke-on-Trent. I was born and raised here, my daughters go to the same primary school that i did when i was a boy. My dad also lived here from a young school age too. My wife's family used to live not too far away in Manchester (~40 miles), then her sister moved to a seaside town (Hornsea) 8 years ago. Then following the death of her grandad, my wife's mum (Lindsay) also moved to Hornsea, this would have been 5-6 years ago. Hornsea is around 3 hours drive from us.  
+  
+My wife has always said that where ever we live, it has to be close to family. So whereas i would like to live somewhere interesting, like a big city for a time, that stipulation has limited options to manchester/hornsea/stoke, or more recently just hornsea/stoke. Stoke isn't exactly i great place to live, the inner city has a significant drug problem, and it's been voted (by a panel of experts) the worst place to live in the UK a couple of times over the years. Where we live, is a village on the outshirts, a 'nice area' to live, surrounded by countryside, but still 10-15 minute drive from the city centre.  
+  
+My wife is also very close to her mum and sister (her mum especially). Her attachment to her mum is very strong--something i noticed from when we first met, which may have something to do with her dad not being around her whole life. Most school holidays she will take kids to Hornsea, it's the number one thing to do with her spare time.  
+  
+Since her mum moved to hornsea, my wife has wanted to move there. I have resisted, because, whilst it a nice place, there's not much there. It's a quiet seaside town, the nearest city, Hull, is 45 minutes drive away. and I felt that if we did move there I would end up living in a place because, effectively, Erin sister loved it there. Of all the place i would like to live, hornsea wouldn't even be a consideration for me.  
+  
+But, the kids do love hornsea too. They spend a lot of there holidays there for as long as they can remember, and recently my eldest, Jessica,--who is having a tough time at school with friends at school--said that she wanted to move to hornsea.
