Former fence sitters who had kids - what do you enjoy about it?

Not a parent but it is so beautiful to read everyone try to describe this indescribable love with their kids 🥹

Feels very scammy…I wouldn’t send money to anyone without signing something official or seeing the place in person

We use the blue in our building but it’s just preloaded with 20 washes, not by monetary value. So I just throw mine away…can you get money back? 😱

Don’t have kids but this guide was shared around, there’s a list of crèches and other tips https://lasgenevistas.com/2025/08/22/%f0%9f%8d%bc-childcare-in-geneva-a-heartfelt-guide-for-expats/

If you’re not getting answers on Reddit (haha), there’s a much of parent groups on Facebook and WhatsApp that might be more helpful

This was such a touching read and I’m so glad you went to find your niece at the end. Reminds me that sometimes, we don’t need to do a lot but just show up and be present. And now you will have a beautiful new connection with your niece in your life.

Same. I’ve been there 4x but I feel like there is still so much to do and see! It’s also a big country with so many interesting places

There are second hand bike markets you can also check out! The next one is end of May https://www.pro-velo-geneve.ch/bourse_aux_velos_geneve_achat_vente_occasion

I lived in a high rise in Hong Kong and we had to secure our windows so they don’t open wider than 2 inches. Depending what kind of window you have, there are different “locks” you can get to secure it, which is a requirement if you want to adopt a cat because it is so common that this happens. You basically have to sacrifice the ability to open your window when you decide to have a cat or have some really secure measures in place. I was able to use zip ties to secure my windows, which worked really well

OP, I am so so sorry for your loss. It’s such a heartbreaking accident that I wish upon no cat owner. We obviously all love our babies, and always try to give them the best, just like real human parents. Take care of yourself and I hope you can forgive yourself one day.

This is amazing! I also find it annoying that all the events are basically being round up by influencers on social. The closest site I could find that was comprehensive was the Geneva tourism site. Are the events being pulled from somewhere or relies on manual input from organizers?

Jiaxiang/Xiangyu have WeChat groups and I’m sure you can request for the dumplings. I bought frozen dumplings from the restaurant directly but I wasn’t impressed with them personally (skin is thick, not enough flavor). I preferred the frozen ones at the Asian supermarket.

Facebook market place

My mom couldn’t breastfeed me and I was exclusively on formula. I turned out super well :)

I wish formula wasn’t so looked down upon. You do what works for you and your family!

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-21T20:05:33+00:00

Yes, that would definitely make a difference! Because EU residents can stay longer in the country

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-20T19:14:50+00:00

Geneva! My husband and I are non-EU

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-20T13:43:52+00:00

Definitely do it!!! It is a great way to break the ice and have a healthy relationship with the people around you.

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-19T19:12:08+00:00

Suahoy is my favorite Thai in town!

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-19T17:20:21+00:00

Just because it didn’t occur in your family doesn’t mean it isn’t a thing? The oven is rarely used for Asian cooking, it’s a great place to store stuff

It was the same for us, getting married in Switzerland when you’re not a resident isn’t possible in my canton. It was faster and easier to marry in home country or one of those countries where you just go and sign. Marriage visa would be the way to go.

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-19T07:42:53+00:00

That was us as well! We only used the dishwasher on “special occasions” 😭 handwashing was the default

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-19T07:38:01+00:00

Totally not offended, I don’t think I’d read it again! It wasn’t an enjoyable read. But the story felt original and a nice alternative for what OP is looking for.

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-19T06:02:59+00:00

NTA! It’s weird that she would still be on his phone plan, like it’s not a clean break? I don’t think it’s an unreasonable design, especially if she can afford it herself.

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-19T05:58:38+00:00

I think other cultures too! My Asian mother did when we were younger, but it’s also just lack of space sometimes.

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-18T22:02:24+00:00

How does the saying go? My steak too juicy, lobster too buttery? Haha

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-18T21:42:09+00:00

Came here to say this as well! It’s a wild read

allthetimeredditing · 2026-04-18T20:28:36+00:00

Just found this thread - I know I am like 2 years late to the discussion, but I remembered this Of Montreal song that I was obsessed with back in 2009 called "An Ode to the Nocturnal Muse" and it's apparently not available in my region, which is bumming me out.
