When you have kids it is nice to think of a life changing decision as a family adventure. It keeps it in realistic terms. Changing the life you have had for a long time makes it an adventure in very many aspects. Using the word adventure helps your kids understand the decision to uproot your existing life is all that the word ‘adventure’ implies.
We recently did just that. In hind sight we are still questioning if it was the right decision. We have ended up where we have ultimately wanted to be to raise our kids… but the mental and emotional battles of staying with extended family and not having our own space, and the unknowing future of my husbands employment has almost been too hard at times.
We have come away with seems to be, too much understanding of others… we are quite bruised from the experience. But then there is the whole learning challenge of all the months with out our own comforts of home, only each other.
There is power in not having life comforts but having your significant other and children around to help you through hard times. It helps the children learn about not getting every thing they want, or think they deserve… it is about dealing with what life brings.
So a family adventure can end up good or bad but it is what you do with what is thrown at you. I truly believe our kids will be stronger more well rounded individuals as they think back to our life changing adventure. It has given them insight that only comes through true experience!
