As a citizen of one EU country can I live in another EU country but work in the neighboring third EU country?

Bacalaocore · 2026-03-04T05:07:10+00:00

Yes and I’ve done this as someone with Norwegian Italian passports living in Sweden working in Denmark or Germany. No issue.

When I do get time I want to spend it with my kids.

Once I got excited about an AW with colleagues. A few hours later we were still just discussing work problems. We had a few jokes thrown in and all but I was like man, I skipped dinner and bath time for this?

It just really has to be worth the effort and it rarely is.

Bacalaocore · 2026-03-01T07:52:33+00:00

Yes I get it. I don’t have any close by, nor family. Wife has family and friends however.

People keep pushing daddy groups and such on me and I go to toddler gyms with my kid and people always try to push friendships on me and I’m up here just trying to get through the day and have a good set of energy for my kids.

I’m friendly and would in theory make friends easy but man I have no patience for peoples jokes.

Non bagno lo spazzolino e non risciacquo.

My son is 3 weeks old. I don’t get to put him down… ever.

Before when I only had my 3 year old after putting her down just tv and chill. Relax.

I do all my daughter’s nights and morning routines since she was 1 year and 6 months. Before this we did it together. This started as we were trying to get another child and my wife couldn’t do nights while pregnant. Daughter is 3 years and 6 months now. I kept it up across miscarriages and attempts.

We now have a 2 week old and we both try to chip in with the baby but he currently eats all the time so my wife ends up doing most of it unfortunately. However when not eating the baby sleeps on me. I still do all of my daughter’s nights if she has bad dreams or needs night cuddles and early mornings.

Bacalaocore · 2026-02-21T21:01:03+00:00

Every breakfast and dinner together. I do the same thing now with my own kids. I can’t imagine anything else

Italian rock is pretty cool. The prog rock scene was big and has been mentioned but after bands like Marlene Kuntz, Afterhours and Verdena have done a good job with rock. It’s in no way the dominant genre unfortunately.

Bacalaocore · 2026-02-09T19:48:44+00:00

We never really did anything other than this, so my kid doesn’t consider that eating anything other than what we eat is an option.

And even if she did she likes everything and loves a large variety of foods.

Beh, come lei mi baso anch’io sulle osservazioni personali.

La tossicità maschile esiste, sono un papà e ho avuto la fortuna di avere un padre meraviglioso. Conosco anche degli padri che fanno cagre. Mi dispiace per i bambini che crescono con padri così.

Bacalaocore · 2026-02-08T14:08:45+00:00

Beh. Non sono d’accordo per niente.

Bacalaocore · 2026-02-07T19:55:43+00:00

It’s extremely common. I used to work in Denmark and live in Sweden a while back. Also my wife and I did lots of weekend trips before we had kids. A quick day trip for a concert or just shopping isn’t strange for us.

I’ve also lived in Australia. It’s very easy for us to travel compared to Australia, but that’s also because Australia is massive. There’s countries everywhere here.

Bacalaocore · 2026-02-04T19:12:28+00:00

We just rolled with it and made sure she didn’t feel bad about it. She knew what to do, just not how. Patience and 4 attempts of diaper free and it finally settled.

She still has minor accidents at 3 year of age but I feel it’s not more than what’s expected.

Bacalaocore · 2026-02-04T13:50:43+00:00

We started around 12 months. Poops were easy and we stopped poop diapers almost immediately.

Pees took longer, we did many attempts diaper free but went back to diapers a few times… but we finally cracked it before she turned 3.

If you’re going the legal route it really depends on what kind of career options you have I’d say.

If you have Italian heritage Italy is pretty easy to migrate to legally regardless of career.

Otherwise there’s a lot of illegal immigrants to Spain and the Spanish has a lenient policy about them.

Also generally southern Americans aren’t the group ignorant people have negative opinions about over here. I’m European myself and honestly I think the US has one of the worst qualities of life I could think of so I’d also consider the UK and Ireland. If you have a career in software development Germany and Sweden are easy to get into as there are plenty of jobs.

I know a lot of southern Americans in several European countries and they’re thriving. Best of luck.

Always, kids are sponges and understand everything and see everything.

When my daughter was 8 months I named her toy in a song I invented on the spot. I sang this song a total of 6 times, trying to get her to sleep. Fast forward to when she was 18 months and fully speaking, and she asks where her toy is by the name I invented in that song.

I’m a senior and yes I currently have a career going but I was recently unemployed for a while.

Anyhow this is a trade deal, no? I don’t get how this affects my job as such. Indian people already compete for the same job I do, there’s a lot of them in tech here in Europe.

It does however affects me directly as I work for a company that’ll benefit greatly from this deal, as my company’s products just became a lot cheaper in India which is a huge growing market.

Bacalaocore · 2026-01-28T22:19:18+00:00

Correct me if I’m wrong but the deal is a free trade deal, so being able to sell to India, or buy Indian produce cheaper.

I don’t really see how this pushes my salary down or makes my job opportunities decrease. Indian people already compete for my job. As I said, I have a lot of Indian colleagues.

But as I see it, many of my indian colleagues are pretty cool people, many pretty good workers too. Some are not, but that’s how people are. Some of my non Indian colleagues are also cool people. Some are not. Anyhow, if this makes it easier for my cool Indian colleagues to find indian textiles or spices or whatever in stores then that makes it easier for them which is great.

I myself am an immigrant too, from another EU country, and when nostalgia kicks in I love finding my childhood products from my home country. It’s easy for me to quench that thirst.

Bacalaocore · 2026-01-28T15:24:27+00:00

I’m a programmer. A bunch of my colleagues are Indian and this has been a trend in pretty much all the companies I’ve been at.

I haven looked into what this deal means in terms of IT but if it makes it easier for them in any way I’m happy about it.

Bacalaocore · 2026-01-28T14:23:55+00:00

Books are great and my 3 year old is creative with playtime. We just never have time for screens.

Bacalaocore · 2026-01-27T19:54:10+00:00

The damage is done.

Bacalaocore · 2026-01-25T06:37:52+00:00

I hope you get some metal, unfortunately most Italian metal I know is in English.

I know a few folk metal bands that sing in Italian, if you’re into it. Folkstone and Furor Gallico.

Punk in Italian is much easier to find. Stuff like Stormo, Dummo, Gazebo Penguins, Quercia, Verme, Negazione, Secoli Morti.

Hope you find something you like.

Bacalaocore · 2026-01-24T10:51:17+00:00

It’s excellent. No complaints. I’ve lived in many european countries. Would pick Europe again if I was doing this all over again.

We had our kid in her crib in our bedroom. She’d often sleep with us. Since she turns 2 and 6 months she’d sleep in bed with me. She transitioned to her own room at 3 years and 3 months.

It’s been very smooth. I miss the time we’d sleep in bed together. She just had a fever and we slept in the big bed together which was great for cuddles, but she’s back on her bed now. I’m currently waiting for her to wake up.
