reverse relocation

Your relationship with your kids - you won't have a good one.

Edit: round objects

Indeed. I spent many years doing the weekly commute. I've a great relationship with my now adult kids.

For the OP - I used to live near Bath and got a contract in Kent. For various reasons, we moved to the east side of London. I then got a contract in Yeovil. While it's nice to be close to home (as I have been for the past 9 years), it's by no means guaranteed. I suggest you find somewhere you both like, that has reasonably good communications, and settle there.

Who is round, and to what does he object?

(Nice to see the finger on the pulse moderation there - only took three weeks...)
