9. This does not sound like a good life for the children

As romantic as it sounds, this is not a safe environment to raise children in. I'd be interested to hear what the kids think.

There is an author, Suzanne Heywood, whose parents raised her and her brother on a boat sailing the world and it was abuse to her. She spend days alone with nothing to do and it simply wasn't an environment a child could thrive in.

I would hope there could be some kind of middle ground. Where the children could get some vital social interactions while the home remains remote, but becomes more habitable.
