[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably some or all of the following: 1 - they don't get to see their families much since they live overseas; 2 - it takes a long time (comparatively) to get overseas so you might as well stay for while when you get there; 3 - the grandparents/relatives like to spend time with the children; 4 - they want their children to experience life in a country/culture other than the US, and perhaps even learn the language as well; 5 - the kids are on summer break, so it's a good time to take an extended vacation. And so on.[/quote] This. All of it. Plus: International flights are VERY expensive and usually long. So going for a weekend or even 2 weeks here and there is not effective to truly expose the children to their mother/father culture and family AND costs can be prohibitive. I usually spend one month but I plan on buying a condo in my home country and once I do, I will spend the whole summer probably.[/quote]
