The expat dilemma

When expats have children, they'll always be confronted with that searing question as to whether they should stay in their host country or return home and how would this impact their kids, especially when kids are of school age.

We were expats, went through that dilemma and chose to stay in America. Around us, we saw Europeans in similar situations make different choices and, in all cases, their kids future development and careers were negatively affected. In retrospect, we think we made a harder, but much better choice.

I'd love to hear about opposite outcomes; has anyone anything to share on that topic?
