Other topics in this cathegory are the good-byes, the ways “people call you“, the impossible question about “where is home” that TCK’s don’t like to be asked and “what kind of memories our kids will share with us“.

MaDonna, I guess those feout’s are very common to every parent. Not only TCK parents, all parents. Maybe, if you would raise your children where you grew up, you would like them to experience more about other cultures, traditions etc. ? Who knows. We can be glad about not having to raise our children in a war-situation or in a life where we feel somehow threatened. When I have this kind or moments, I try to ponder if it’s really a problem or only a question of perspective. Usually it’s just me 😉 – I like your inner voice telling you to chin up! You’re a loving and caring mum, and that alone makes you special for your children, those you spend your life with and you share your thoughts with (like through your blog). Keep on inspiring me 🙂

I agree with you on believing my kids don’t miss anything I think they are missing – it is me. What’s funny is they are living the childhood that I had dreamed about when I was a kid. Funny, huh? But, I still have those whacked out “feout” days that just make me wonder, but that is when I talk to my husband, read your blog posts, and see that life is good and there is nothing to worry about. And then I say, “Silly girl, chin up. This is a great life for you and the kids both!”

Usually we go to the southern part of Switzerland, but I’ll let you know if on our way back we decide to pass Geneva.

😉 your pic of fondue made me very hungry suddenly! Let me know if you are in the Lake Geneva region some day. Would be a pleasure meeting you! Jenny
