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?
We are binational family living in CH as well and, besides the fact that identifying with a country is ultimately up to the child, I absolutely think it is emotionally and socially beneficial for immigrant children to identify with the parent’s home countries.
