Why bother having children if you're just going to shove them into boarding school?

That's a different conversation entirely about what you think of boarding schools and your reasons for having children.

Hopefully your reasons for having a child are compatible with the child spending time away from you cos that's going to happen eventually. Your comment suggests you're making a lot it assumptions about what it means for someone to be in a boarding school...

No, I don't think so. The parent offered boarding school as an option if a couple were planning to spend time in different households in different countries.

The implication is that the kids will be sent to boarding school because they are inconvenient for these plans.

Sorry if it came off that way, but what was intended is that if boarding school is an option you want for your children then the parents are not tied to any one place geographically.
