People living and moving to Sweden!

[TheMagicKeyCanFuckOff]

Anyone else?

Moving to Stockholm with a then 16yo DD1 (she's 15 for one more day), a 13yo dd2 and a 5yo DS. Am originally Swedish.

Anyone else living/moving here?

Would it be possible for you to do a short term let as a trial period? If you look on blocket.se you will find lots of people looking to let their apartments for anything from a couple of weeks upwards. If your businesses would manage with you working from here then you would have a chance to see what day to day life is like with no commitment. I guess it might be tricky if your child is school age but perhaps schools on each side would be understanding and allow the necessary arrangements?

I've lived here in Sweden (but not Stockholm itself) for several months now and am very happy. And if you already love the winters you're half way there

I'm in Norway
Those long hours in barnehage certainly don't happen where I am, not least because we have a daily limit of 9 hours except in exceptional one off circumstances.

Most kids are picked up by 3.30, although some do start early. Only my youngest is still barnehage age but our barnehage, which is in the school building, also hosts the before and afterschool childcare. If you pop in a 7.30 you'll find the table set for breakfast (candles and all !!!), with kids aged 1 to 9 eating and quite often a parent or grandparent enjoying a cup of coffee before heading off to work. I've got to admit the kids probably get a better breakfast than they would at home, I certainly don't bake my own bread.........
