Kids will hate you for it (depending on age) but I'm betting by the end of this tumultuous decade they will thank you for it, at least their health certainly will.
I wanted to do this but my cosmopolitan, high octane, social butterfly wife that became way too high society comfortable on my salary; I was forced to compromise...so when my daughter had turned 14-15 I shipped her off to a working ranch farm out in the middle of literally no where for the summers...3 months with no phone, no internet/tv, and no friends. I was enemy #1 in her eyes for a long time, but she finally came around and thanked me for doing it.
Rural America is dying. I lived for over twenty years off a five mile dirt road that resembled more of a cow pasture than a road, out in the middle of the woods, with only about eighteen neighbors. Until the State allowed a new city to be developed about five miles from where I live. We are being closed in, and the urban lifestyle is permeating the area, and schools.
You have a lot of people that are moving from the cities to the country, and then changing the country into the same city that they claimed they wanted to leave.
For every one person that read this post. About 7.99 billion have not.
Yet I still post.
