This site is wonderful. The sense of belonging is very strong. It is hard to explain to someone who doesn't understand that I WANT to be an innkeeper...they look at me like I've lost what's left of my mind.
It's nice to know that I can come on here and ask questions, give my own opinion and learn from others' mistakes..

You mean those who think you will be abusing your children for having them live and work in a B&B meeting fascinating people from all around the world, participating in a family business and actually growing and learning so much from it? I had that questioned last week.
In fact, I filled out an application for for a Youth Ensemble and when asked about experience and awards, dang straight that was put on there. If given the right circumstances the children get to meet the guests and play Appalachian tunes for them, if requested. We don't tell them, we don't push it, but when requested on the porch or near the ponds when they practice in the summer or fall. EXCELLENT experience.
Go with your gut. That sounds awful but it is true.
