[quote=Anonymous]Living in different parts of the country and attending different (all public) educational institutions (K-Masters) definitely made me understand some aspects of diversity really well. I'm able to relate to people a little better because of that. But also important were that my mother and her family are very interested in the broader world. And I was a voracious reader. That generates things to talk about. I'm probably more able to work with non-US people because of this. My career involves international business as one component. However, my kids who went to daycare are better at knowing when to shut up. And that is actually a skill. My older son is more popular than I ever was. And authority figures tend to be impressed by him. He has more EQ. There are downsides too. But I think people reading skills are improved by not being an artisanal child raised by a SAHM like I was.[/quote]
