I new family just moved into the apartment next to ours. The mother is Danish, the father is Irish and they have 4 kids (two sons and two daughters aged between 5 and 13). They move around to different countries every 3-4 years, partly due to the husband's work and partly due to the fact that they don't like to be in one place too long and want to show their kids the world. The kids are homeschooled and are close to one another. It's sounds really glamorous but what sort of effect does this kind of itinerant upbringing have. Is it harmful or beneficial in the long run? I'm not trying to judge my new neighbours, because they're decent, fun, interesting people, but their life seems unusual.
