[quote=Anonymous] Nobody thinks this is ideal, however it is important to preserve our language, culture and family ties. As you know, immersion is the only efficient method to attain multilingualism. DH and I are French, with family in the Paris area. I used to take the children to Paris for a month in summer or go on a low-key vacation in France with my parents and the kids somewhere. We do this less often than the kids need it, because now they have summer camps and activities here, and I can't bear the thought of leaving DH to his work and having fun without him every single year - however as a result, my children barely know their cousins and grandparents, which is sad as well. OP, you have to understand that living is a foreign country far away from family is enriching and thrilling in some ways but it comes at a price. The international families we know do this as well, as this is the only time[/quote]
