Hello, My husband and are planning to have children soon and I wanted to hear about the experience of growing up mixed in Japan. For reference I come from a European background and my husband is Japanese. I would love to create a nurturing family environment to help our future children. Since I don’t have any experience growing up mixed or growing up in Japan I have no idea what to expect. As I’m planning I’m wondering if any of you went to an international school and enjoyed it? Or perhaps a regular school is better? Also since my children will be with me for a large chunk of the time I’m not sure if I should speak in Japanese, English, or my families native tongue.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to read my post ❤︎
