Some of us know. Some of us don’t. Some of us have no idea. And for others it happens completely by accident. No matter the circumstance, crossing the threshold from mature adult to parent is daunting. Intimidating. But if you have doubts about your parenting pedigree - how do you start to answer those concerns? You go away. Far East away. VietNam. Thailand. You backpack for six weeks. Just the two of you. Without ever having attempted such an undertaking before. You’ll flail - doing the Bangkok Canal tour twice - and still miss seeing the famous floating market. You’ll fail - going against all sound travel advice and surrender your passport to a complete stranger. But will you survive? As individuals. As a couple. And most importantly will you conclusively answer the question of whether or not you’re ready to join the parenting fraternity.
