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?
Husband & I grew up in Canada, moved to Uk prior to having children. Went back to Canada to give birth but kids grew up in Uk & Greece (husband a greek national also) . Kids were there until 18 then one went to Canada & other now in Uk. Their Greek isn’t fluent as they attended an English school
