I was thinking the same thing. Why would you bother having a kid, just to have someone else raise them at 10. That is the saddest thing I ever heard.

Why do people think this post is written by a parent? Isn't this the most classic evil stepmother trope out there?

I BEGGED my parents to send me to boarding school - when I was in 7th grade. 10 is too young.

Yes. It was the WORST ever parenting mistake. Do NOT do it.

What are your reasons for choosing this? I'm curious.

We are busy with work travel.

Yikes. We had better start fighting to keep our freedoms. Most Americans still don’t want forced co-parenting with the state.

Why not a boarding school in the US, where you could presumably visit more often? Why another country?

Wait, you feel a responsibility to travel for work, but not feel a responsibilty to raise your kid? Sorry, I would quit my job.

There is a Swiss boarding school that someone posted a while ago, that offers boarding starting at toddler age!

Omg. I agree why have a child. This is absolutely nuts.

If Money is no object… do better for your child.
