I wonder if any one has ever asked him if his family stayed at home when he played in Japan?
There is a difference between travelling with young kids and pre schoolers, and pulling teenagers out of their environment and changing countries. People do it, not denying that, but there is a huge difference.
And those parents show tell their spoiled teenagers to harden up. Because you are about to enter a life when change happens. You make new friends, you make new boyfriends and girlfriends at that age. Especially when you are moving from a similar culture to another
And taking a Young kid to Japan verses a teenager to nz is no comparison, I know which would be easier
