- smallstepforman 7y agoMy son was born in Vienna, and their system required parents to enrol infants in child care 24 months before they are born!!!! Well, they told us the waiting list is 2 years for infant care.

(There are new laws combating those, but i don't know how effective they are). Where I live, there has been a massive boost in population because of rapid expansion of industries here. Unfortunately, the other services are unable to keep up.
