I was wondering what are people’s experiences of having and raising children in a different country from your own, specially if your partner is a local. Did you find it challenging not having your family to support you? Did you manage to have them be bilingual? Do you find it’s hard for them to identify with your country, and if so, what are good ways to help with this?

    My Son is English , his partner Dutch and they live in Norway . My 18 month old granddaughter has just started to say a few words in a mixture of 3 languages . My other English son’s partner is Czech and my 2 year old grandson is speaking a mixture of Czech and English . I think with children it just comes naturally and the younger they are the easier it is .
