Ep 27: The Invisible Realities of Being Childfree or Parenting at a Distance in Diplomatic Life
-

By:
As we close our parenting series, we turn to the experiences that are often less visible but just as important to acknowledge within diplomatic life. Not all parenting or personal responsibilities can be seen at post.
In this episode, we explore the often overlooked experiences of those who are childfree, parenting from a distance, or supporting adult children while living overseas.
In this episode, we explore:
- Why inclusion matters when social life at post often centres around families and children
- What it means to parent from afar when children are at boarding school or university
- The emotional and practical load of supporting children across time zones, even when they are not physically at post
- How adult children may still rely on parents
This episode brings our parenting series to a close with a reflection on the many different ways care, responsibility, and family show up in diplomatic life, and a reminder that every experience deserves to be seen, valued, and supported.
