Raising children in the Middle East isn’t necessarily easier than raising children here. Whether or not children grow up to be decent, respectful members of society depends on the upbringing they received at home from their parents, not where they grew up. I’m not saying that environment does not play a role in this as it definitely does but not to the degree that many people think.

An interesting thing I’ve noticed here (I live in the UK) is that it is often the newly arrived kids (I’m not keen on the word “fob” or “freshie” as they’re termed here) who lose their way as a result of wanting to fit in to what they think western society is like and not knowing how to handle their newly found “freedom.”

Or freedom is what we wanted and came here for. Freedom and better opportunities is what I left home for. Some people do it to fit in, others do it because they don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. It’s all about what you believe is right.
