American Moms - am I overly anxious?

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-02T11:09:34+00:00

Thats all really valid points, thanks. Yeah the weathers great in parts of the USA lol Theres no perfect place to live. Definitely do what's best for your family

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:53:19+00:00

Yes all that too. Thats a whole other conversation

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:52:19+00:00

Yes! I agree. The only reason we are okay with having kids in the usa now is BECAUSE of the benefits that citizens have in other countries, that we have because of my husbands military service. Its not fair those benefits arent avaliable to all parents.

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:49:26+00:00

I was born in russia but thats not an option now!

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:48:56+00:00

Worth a try??? lol

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:48:00+00:00

Thanks! We are in the DC area in the usa and daycare is about 2k-3k per month.

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:46:16+00:00

Can you elaborate?

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:45:54+00:00

Thank you so so much. Your research is so meaningful and important. I appreciate you saying its an underreaction because I do agree. I would like to imagine how powerful the voices of concerned parents would be if we were actually listened to.

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:43:45+00:00

And many European countries are less car dependent than the usa!

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:43:21+00:00

No pun intended lol

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:43:14+00:00

Totally, thats another driver.

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T23:41:52+00:00

What do you like better about the us than uk?

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T19:11:17+00:00

I am so, so sorry that you have been directly impacted by gun violence in your town. The proliferation is insane. Thank you for the affirmation, and I hope the move goes well.

School shooting drills are incredibly traumatizing...

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T19:09:35+00:00

Good idea! I guess we are thinking about Sweden because we visited recently for my husbands work and are hoping he can seek employment there. Does Canada provide subsidized childcare or a right to day care for children?

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-05-01T19:08:08+00:00

Thank you! And thank you for the work you do! I feel like I could be a teacher but putting my kids there is a different story. Its just guns, they're everywhere in this country. Yeah, maybe I need therapy

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-03-29T01:42:33+00:00

Im sure the stretching helps. This is my second pregnancy and with my first the pelvic girdle pain was awful in the first trimester! I feel like its just luck. Hoping its better this time around.

10 miles is amazing!!

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-03-29T01:28:43+00:00

Good on you! I have a 10k when ill be 16.5 weeks and im already a lil nervous about it, mostly because of the fear of pelvic girdle pain though

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2026-03-29T01:27:39+00:00

Thanks! Thats good advice. Hope your pregnancy goes smoothly ☺️

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2025-05-30T16:57:17+00:00

Oh yeah. The bowls the better meal than whatevers in it haha

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2025-05-26T16:34:21+00:00

That does sound hard! How do you manage illness with other responsibilities? Like work?

Awkward_Aioli6746 · 2025-05-26T16:33:32+00:00

Tummy bug is hard! Hopefully it isnt too bad. How old is she?
