"Aw, Mom, why can't we go live on the moon with Dad?"

"Now, Billy, you know your bones and brain need at least .85G to develop properly. You can go live with Dad when you turn 16."

Would be more worried about this eventually happening the other way around.

"Aw, Mom, why can't we go live on Earth with Dad?"

"Now, Billy, you know your bones and muscles are used to lunar 0.16G, and won't support your body in full 1G. Your heart isn't strong enough for those conditions either."

Also the anime Planetes had touched this topic, AFAIR.
