Hey honey, don't take it too personally, it wasn't a personal criticism, I was just offering a contrary opinion to yours.
There was absolutely no intention to criticise you, honestly.
You and your sister have personal experience of being an expat kid that means you believe it's not a good idea. Fair enough, that's your experience and your opinion.
On the contrary, I've travelled a lot as an adult, and I feel it's a wonderful opportunity and one I wish I had had as a child. Also, through my wanderings, I have encountered other friends with children, and their children have had a good time as expats, although admittedly they weren't 16 when they set out on their first adventure.
I'm not criticising you or your opinion, just offering a contrasting one.

No hard feelings, hey?
