I look back and am very happy with how I was raised, power and society as we know it could shut off right now and I would be fine. I also applaud your decision to wait until the kids were older before making the transition to off grid life.

do you feel that your decision has negatively impacted your childrens social development? I grew up off grid for a portion of my youth, not as you are doing for a specific reason, we were just too poor for power and all the things that brings. I do remember it made life difficult for me, however this was the early 90's and things are much different now.
