I would even say, living abroad for a while with your kids would be a bonus for them (granted they are not just 6 months old but a few years old).
They'll pick up a foreign language (even though Dutch is not the most important one) and see a different culture.

As promised, I'm back with an update!
After thinking long and hard about it, I agree with your premise. Kids should be compatible with the activities I still want to do in my lifetime. Thanks for the advice.

I have to drive for the next 2 hours, but I'm going to think about your comment quite a bit. I'll get back to you on this.
Don't know about Amsterdam: they do have kids in Amsterdam, but perhaps you mean "a year living high on drugs surrounded by prostitutes"? No offense - just wondering why it would be incompatible with kids.
Antarctica: again, why not. Depends on what you want to do there. Also you can do some things when your kids are older.
Even taking a few months off doesn't seem impossible, with a supporting spouse. I think there are lots of parents who go away to remote locations for work (truck drivers and oil rig workers for example).
