[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Third culture kid here. I loved it. I don’t know how people can live in one area their whole lives. I guess they find it cozy, but I liked exposure to new learning experiences. [/quote]
So glad to hear it, as a TCK raising her own TCKs. I do find it curious that you say you loved it, thouigh -- did you say that at the time? I ask because people always ask how my kids like living overseas, and my main answer is -- that is their life, they don't really say "gee, I love being a TCK" any more than a kid in DC says, "I love being raised in the DC metro area." Or? Genuine question.[/quote]

I am a DP, but also a third culture kid (dad was a diplomat). I didn’t like moving around so much growing up; hard to start over in a new country/school/friends every few years. My kids are getting the US suburbs, picket fence, neighborhood school experience. That said, I do want to move somewhere new once youngest kid is in college - this is the longest I’ve lived in one place (10 years), and it’s getting kinda boring! :)[/quote]
