Sending DD overseas for 6 weeks - would you do it?

[Junglemum]

I love the idea of it, but i don't know if i could send my daughter away for 7 weeks, it's such a long time. But i guess that shows more about me than anything. As i child i hated being away from my mum and Dad. I never went to a sleep over until i was in grade 6 i think! Once i stayed at Grandma's for what was supposed to be one night, i was 6 years old. My mum got appendicitis and had to leave us there for a week. I was quite traumatized by it all, i never wanted to leave her again! Maybe that blurs my judgement.
