Hi Anu..I m living in New Delhi for last 4 years with my husband and 9 years old son.We both basically belong to Tier 2 city.We both r working hence my child is going to creche which he hates now.My husband and i were thinking of returning to our hometown so that expenses will be reduced and kid will find his cousins and relatives. But we are afraid that he might not get exposure which he could get in Delhi in educationand sports. So we are in delima..what will.be best for him?

Good morning Anu jiHope you are doing well. I am a working mother with two kids. My son is 18 years old and my daughter is 11.My office offered me to relocate to Malaysia and I opted for it.I moved with my daughter to Malaysia. My husband and son are in India. This is mutually accepted by family. The reason I chose this option was because the working environment in India office was very stressful with lots of corporate policies. My daughter has a creative mindset. She had to struggle in studies due to Indian education system. My son was in class 12 so I thought he will go to hostel for further studies. But after moving to Malaysia things got changed. My daughter goes to an international school but the standard of education is very low though fees is very high as compared to India. My son got admission in Delhi, which is good. Now, I'm confused if I should come back to India or stay in Malaysia with my daughter. My husband is very co-operative and his office is very supportive that he can work from Malaysia. Being a mother and a wife I am not able to manage this separation. But my husband wants me to grow in my career. I know in future I will have to pay a lot for my daughter's study. For the same amount she can go to a good boarding school. My son also needs my help but I want him to understand that life is not very easy, it is not for enjoyment. I didn’t want to spoil him so I decided that he will live in PG and become independent.I don't know if I am doing the right thing for my children. If I move back to India my husband will not be happy because according to him, I'm getting too emotional.I don't know what to do -- meet husband’s expectations or take the right step which is good for my family?Pls help.

Dear Aruna, My child is 16.5 year old and is in 12th Standard. He wanted to pursue JEE and hence we got him admitted to a school who has integrated program where along with CBSE they impart JEE training as well. They also had a hostel facility. We had shifted him to this hostel during his 11th after lot of thinking as he used to waste lot of time gaming and hanging around with his friends...he had got 78% in his 11th and this was because he stayed in the hostel. Now he is saying that he will not go back to the hostel at all and prepare at home. But he does not seem to be serious at all...he has been gaming, hanging around with his friends etc.When asked about all this he says that he is well ware and will do the needful..Off late he started saying that he is not interested in doing JEE and make basket ball as his career...we as parents are very confused...I even have fights with my son because of this...Please advise what needs to be done. I would like that he rejoins hostel as this would make him disciplined and responsible...It is important that he completes his 12th standard with good marks and i feel that staying back home is not going to help at all. he is intelligent and teachers appreciate him a alot..he is also talented but is wasting lots of time...he says that he knows everything and no one need to tell him anything. Whenever he hears abt hostel he gets irritated. This hostel does not allow mobile phones or any electronic gadgets at all.

My son is going to Join CSE engineering in the next few months in a tier 3 engineering college. He scores around 80% in CBSE. We are currently residing in Chennai. We are planning to move to our native town in Trichy. My question is ...Will leaving a metro city will have a negative impact on his future career in terms of exposure etc..?
