[quote=Anonymous]It's normal. I would offer him the option of A) Sleepaway camp in Germany or the US; B) Vigorous hiking daily; or C) Stop complaining. My kids don't really like my hometown in Vermont either, because it's kinda boring, but here's the thing-- they're not from Munich. Your DH is from Munich and he has chosen *not* to raise his children in Munich. They're not having a Munich childhood. Just like my kids aren't having a Vermont childhood because I didn't choose that for them. They aren't really part of the community there (and believe me, as a local I always rolled my eyes at 'summer people' who thought they were), and they're not going to suddenly feel like they live there because of suummer visits. He's missing out on all the things he could do and the people he could be with if he wasn't in Munich-- that's the fact of the matter here and he's not wrong. He's his own person with his own goals, relationships, etc.[/quote]
