Support for adventure parents
Hi, I need some emotional support, my MIL is against my way of life.
I am in my second trimester with my frist, and I am super excited and happy. I have taken care of my siblings ( we are 13 years apart) and after that I worked taking care of a baby as an Au Pair one year after college. I know how to take care of a child, feed them, teach them to sit, to walk, help them poop, etc. I am very excited to welcome my child and give him all my love and help him grow and learn.
My husband and I live to travel, he actually can work from anywhere in the world as far as there is internet. I just quitted my job some months ago to move to another country. We are really well financially.
We plan on living here for the most part but we would love to travel and hike with our child. I was talking about doing a 2 week trip to Japan once he is 8 months old, and my MIL told me I would be a bad mom and I don't know anything about children, and she laugh at my face. I think it's very doable. I actually have a friend whose 2 yr old has been in 20 countries and another friend who has family in Asia and has been overseas already 3 times to vivsit family and he is not even 1 year old.
We prepare really well before going to any country and we have a great insurance. Moreover we have already been in Japan for a month and we are able to communicate pretty decently in Japanese.
Am I crazy? Will I be bad mom?
