Your experience sounds wonderful, it is the kind I imagine and hope we could give our kids. I wouldn’t be where I am if I had stay home. Being away thought me many different ways of independence and open my eyes to the opportunity I never thought was possible. I’m not saying it is bad to stay home, I only want to point out how I really grow by not being next to parents. I know along the way there are many pitfalls as well, one example was emotion/feeling as I felt so alone on foreign places. I hope when it comes to the time we will be able to guide our kids.
I’ve been reading CC, the information is so valuable. Thank you to you all for your time, wisdom and guidance, there’s so much to learn. We never stop learning and I’m glad I found this site.
