We're in the same boat. Feels like mostly our society doesn't value having children - it's by and large not a very well supported activity. Even more so if you don't have immediate family to help support you.
- CalRobert 6mo agoWhere’d you go? We were told Ireland values children but that didn’t match our experience (we moved to the Netherlands which has been better at least)
- kakacik 6mo agoDont go to Switzerland. I can sing praise on this country for hours, but supporting families with kids aint one of the positives, in contrary. So far the worst aspect of being and staying here (apart from one specific immigration bureaucrat in Geneva, but thats a long and very specific story). Even rather backwardish France has this aspect figured out much better.
- CalRobert 6mo agoBeautiful country but as far as I’m aware pretty cold and socially hostile to outsiders… Too bad it pays so much better than most of Europe
- ray_v 6mo agoNot far ... just the other end of Ohio (SW Ohio from NE Ohio) ... But very much on our own
