Relocating from Kansas City. Anyone from similar climate make the same move? People warn me that we will hate the summers and want to move back, but in 2023 we had summer heat indexes reach 125 and winter wind chills -25

Moved from Nebraska 12 years ago. Never for 1 min have I regretted it. Summers are hot, but they are not worse than a humid midwestern summer. This time of year I actually crave the warm weather. You’ll love it here.

Welcome! 😎🌴 We are from Indiana originally and love it here. We lived in Texas for 4 years before moving to AZ and 100% prefer the heat here than the summers in TX with humidity.

I’m from Chicago but lived in the Mojave for a few years in my 20s. It’s a weird paradigm shift to summer being the worst season, but I feel like that’s just how anyone views PHX. I think Kansas City has a worse climate across the board with humid summers and freezing rain in the winter opposed to snow - which is more dangerous and less pretty.

Ok, I’m gonna say this. Schools should open. Now hear me out.

My neighbour works in a local grocery store, so he has been at work since the Day 1 of lockdown. So if you need medical help, or want to eat, it’s ok for those people to be at work, but their kids have to stay home? Cont’d >>

Our 5 month old started daycare about 5 weeks ago. We’ve already had to keep her home for 2.5 of those 5 weeks due to catching various illnesses (croup, rsv, brinchiolitis, etc). Both my wife and I have been sick most of that time as well (gotten it from the baby). Wife is thinking we get a full time nanny for the next 4 months to help the baby build antibodies. Cost aside, is this feasible / worthwhile to go thru the effort / finding the right fit, only for 4 months?

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this.
