I'd like to raise my children in Turkey and always wondered the same thing.
My other half wants sons and daughters and does not distinguish between the two. In his own family the sons and daughters stand as equals but I don't know if this is general across Turkey?

How chilrden are raised is up to their parents. You can give them your own upbringing no matter where you are. If you keep a close look in what they are taught at school, you can help and guide them in your own way, the way you would have done in your own country.
I think for Turkey it really depends from region to region and family to family. As far as I can say, if you have a multicultural relationship, you can choose the best out of both cultures for your upbringing. What you do with influences from outside, is also up to you, as long as you keep interested in what keeps your kid busy outside of your house.

Personally, I cant imagine raising children in istanbul. it is so crowded and there is nowhere but the streets for them to play.

Quoting KeithL: there is nowhere but the streets for them to play. |
That's no valid argument in my humble opinion. I grew up in a place that in no way can be compared to Istanbul, but to our standards it's still a "city". I spent a big part of my childhood playing in the streets, and it didn't leave me with a trauma (at least I don't think so...   )
The most important thing is showing your kids love and giving them guidance, irrespective of where they grow up.

Yes, well, we can say with honesty that this doesn't count for all the parts of Turkey.
Unfortunately there are enough parts where it is normal for girls (and boys too) not to be sent to school because their parents need them to work, because there is no money. Or just because they dont think it is necessary.
Even in İzmir, young children are selling pencils, balloons, sweets, small toys, on the streets. If they don't, their families won't have enough money to buy them books for shcool (actually this is not valid anymore since books are given for free), other things you need for school such as pencils and notebooks, or tuiton.

Also I think it may depend on if you can afford to send them to a decent school. I know my friends send their Turkish daughter to a private school. She is a very intelligent 6 years old with perfect english. Although I think it is a 50/50 English/Turkish school in Fethiye.
But I think maybe that's more true of where there is an ex-pat community?!
Anyway it's late and jmho!
