My husband is being asked to work in Japan for a year and was given the option to bring the family along. However, my girl has just settled in her new school and I am currently working also and in a dilemma if we should follow him there. What would you advice me if you are in such situation?

if you are looking for a practical answer, maybe it is best if he shifts and then once he settles in, you and your child can go for some time and stay there. let him be there for the year, while you both carry on with work and school. after the year, in case he wants to stay back, then you can take a call.
