Were Their Kids Bored Or Unhappy? Did Their Kids Ever Said “We don’t want to live like this. We want to live like our friends?”
Fouch kids were pretty young, and so far they really liked the way they lived. So they’ve not really been through the challenge on this. But here are two things that they knew. One, it’s really important to have friends who respect and admire our way of life. They even had some friends who were living (or were planning to live) in a pretty similar way. Two, if parents are making a choice to live off grid, then we have to expect our kids to be making choices as well, in their own time. For this reason they tried to keep lots of doors open for their kids. They didn’t expect the kids to be just like them and also didn't expect them to do their projects all day long. Their kids had chores, and they were required to learn skills in home school, but they also gave them a lot of free time and encouraged them to think of their own projects and discover their own passions.
