Parenting teaches that many things thought impossible are truly possible, and frequently not important as I thought.

It takes a village and there are support networks in surprising places.

Also, there’s time for planning. It’s not wise to have a baby and move across the world. But it is wise to look 5 years out and move to an area to develop friends.

Comically, big families provide cousins and family in more places to give more opportunities for relocating.
