My dad wants my family to move to Saudi Arabia?
I'm a sophomore in high school and I've already had to change schools once and start all over. My family lives in Colorado, but my dad recently told us that we may be moving to Saudi Arabia because of his job, and I'd have to start the whole process of changing schools, friends, and lifestyle all over again. My brother is dead-set on not wanting to go, but my sister and parents are all for it. While I want my dad to be successful and make twice as much money, I still don't really want to make the switch. Is this selfish? I don't want it to be, but I need to pick a side. What do you think?

That would be a little unsettling for me too....moving from the U.S. to a whole other continent....not to mention the middle east area where all that conflict and stuff is going on right now.....Does your Dad have to do this? Can he not still stay in Colorado and be able to support you guys financially?

stay with your brother if thats an option,you will be taken care of and can carry on as normal with your life, you can always visit your parents often.

I think that dad should have a family meeting and explain why this is necessary and explain the benefits and allow you and the others to point out the down side

I don't know how old your brother is. If he is 18 or older your Dad could set you up in an apartment and allow you to stay behind. Does your sister understand that she will not be able to drive or go out of the house without a male relative? Life there was her will not be pleasant. I would be wary of the "Arab Revoultion" - the wave of protests that are overthrowing governments in the Middle East. The Saudi government is on the short list. There will be people trying to overthrow it in the next few months. The guy in charge is in his 80s. The one who is suppose to take over after his death is more conservative and is not well liked. It is going to involved a clash of the Sunni and Shite Muslims, and if you remember Iraq a few years ago it was a bloodbath. I don't know the company your Dad works for, but how are they going to get your family out when the revolution breaks out. Questions to ask your Dad.
