We have dual citizenship, the other being with an EU country. My biggest fear is a child saying, "Dad, I'd like to go to college in the United States and not in Europe."
Make it an incentive to go to Europe. I have friends who are dual citizenship with Canada. They told their kids a car awaited if they chose Canada for school over US.

The interesting thing about being a New Yorker going to school with Euros an Ausies in Europe, is they think New York is really cool, which can be a plus with some people, but I sometimes got the feeling people thought it was weird that I left New York.

Right where I want to be

Binghamton is not New York. More like Scranton.

When I'm in Vermont, I try not to tell people I'm from Connecticut.

Doesn't bother me to tell people I'm from NJ when I'm in VT.

Why would it? People dont like to tell people from XYZ states that they're from ABC states? This is new to me.

My comment was mostly in response to Glenn's comment about not telling people he's from CT when he's in VT. I agree with you. If people have a problem with where I'm from, that's their problem, not mine.

They can tell. :)

Hah...if they talk to me long enough I'm sure they could! Surprised the hell out of me back in college in Rochester, NY when people told me I had a Jersey accent! To me it was normal and it never dawned on me that it was something people elsewhere could notice.

I get a little embarrassed when people find out how far I've come to ski Sundown.

We were at Mt Snow on the bubble chair a couple of weeks back. The bubble was down and a couple were riding with us, about 60 years old. The woman called a friend using speakerphone mode and had a 3 minute conversation about meeting the friend somewhere on Ridge. It really felt like an episode of Real Housewives/New Jersey, which I’m sad to say I’m familiar with because my wife watches it.

If you were closer, I'd swing by with my chainsaw and harvest some firewood. ; ) Seriously, hope you get it sorted out.
