There’s a reason they say moving with kids is one of the most stressful things in life, and that’s because it is! Think about it objectively, you are picking up every item you have accumulated over the years and moving it to a completely different place, somewhere new. You may also have to change jobs, change schools, move away from friends or family – the list goes on.
Now add in a young family, kids, and pets, and that's extra stress! But don’t worry, we’re not here to scare you, we’re actually here to make things easier. This article reminds you that you won’t win any medals for doing things the hard way. If there's a shortcut and you can afford it, go for it!
Skipping the Uncertainty of Selling
One of the hardest parts of moving is having to wait, unsure if your sale will go through. When the chain breaks in the final stages, it can be catastrophic, especially if you've already got a new school lined up, so wouldn't it be great if you could skip this layer of stress entirely? If you choose, you can Sell your home with Cash Home Buyers. You'll soon get a guaranteed price, money in the bank, and you can set your own completion date so you know exactly where you're getting.
Let someone else pack for you
The moving company will actually move your belongings, but did you know that most moving companies will also move your belongings? Packing and unboxing services are also available? If you can afford to pay extra for it, it can save you a lot of time and effort. They bring all their own boxes – even cardboard wardrobes for your clothes – and they do everything for you. You don’t have to worry about entertaining your kids while sorting and packing.
Accept help from friends and family
As strange as it sounds, this is often the hardest because we are hardwired to believe that it is better to struggle alone than to ask for help. In fact, most people will be happy to help you if they care about you. The key is to ask people Get help leveraging your strengths. Do you have a friend who likes to cook? Ask them if they would be willing to prepare some meals for you to tide you over while you organize the kitchen.
Embrace Chaos!
Moving always brings a lot of chaos and confusion, so there's no need to beat yourself up about it and set unrealistic standards for yourself. The simplest way to relieve anxiety is to embrace the chaos, ride the roller coaster, and live each day to the fullest. No one is going to judge you, so you might as well enjoy not having to keep a tidy house for once!
