[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, USA is home.  You have relatives who live in another country.

Second, it does not sound like a good environment for children.  Personally, we would put safety first and not go.  If something happens while you are in this other country, you are on your own.  If the one spouse feels strongly and wants to go let them, but one parent and the kids should stay here.

I'm second generation American and I have cousins overseas, but would not travel for a wedding unless it was safe and we could do it without putting ourselves in a financial bind.

Also, I consider America home -- never refer to the other country as home.[/quote]um excuse you? I merely live in America
. It's certainly not home to me.[/quote]
Not home? Then GTFO and go back to your unheated hovel and civil unrest.[/quote]

I agree.  I never id ed myself as second generation before my above HOME post.  If the poster who lives here but doesn't regard it as home is a citizen let that be revoked.  Too many people in these days of convenient air travel get citizenship.  It used to be you come and stay and can't afford to or have access to running back to wherever.  In my family 1 person out of dozens ever even went over to see the prior country---decades later.  DH is second generation also and a few have within the last decade gone there on vacation.  Not to see extended family they don't even know.   Huddled masses yearning to breathe free ???  No just some where to live with no loyalty or sense of home.  [/quote]
