I don't really think that this is the point of this forum but I have to comment. I could go on for a long time but I will keep it short. Our children came home from the hospital to a sailboat and left the boat to go to college. We often spent 8-10 months, sometimes years traveling. We stopped to work periodically. While this is different than any rv there are many similarities. We homeschooled our son for 6 years. He graduated from the naval academy and now flies f18s for the navy, just made lieutenant commander. We homeschooled our daughter until her senior year of high school. Our daughter graduated magna cum laude from the university of south Florida. Both kids are working and paying their bills. They have many friends and call home regularly. Interestingly as adults both of them love to travel. When we pulled in someplace both of them made friends quickly. They knew it was often for a short time and they made the most of it. As children they learned quickly to communicate with adults and we were often complimented as people were surprised that they could speak coherently unlike many of their peers. they are more understanding of folks from other places and walks of life. They are both self sufficient. This lifestyle is obviously not for everyone and as Targusa 3 pointed out parenting is important. It takes time to raise children, but don't discount it just because this type of experience is not for every one. I would not trade the time we had with our children for anything.
