DH has just been offered a job in Luxembourg. It’s with a company he used to work for, so the idea of relocating is not new, but now it is all frighteningly real (and exciting).
Currently I work full-time and DS (18 months) goes to a local nursery. We’re trying for number 2, so if we did move the idea is for me to be a SAHM for a few years, although ideally we would like to keep DS in nursery part-time as he’s been thriving there. Recently we’ve been in tentative discussions about me doing a part-time MA and retraining as a teacher in my undergrad subject (Creative Writing).
I’d love to hear from any SAHM’s (or SAHD’s) whose partners work in Luxembourg. Where do you live? What’s the standard (and cost) of living like? Did your DC adapt well?
Basically, I’m worried that it will be a really isolating experience as we won’t know anyone out there beyond DH’s work colleagues. At the moment we have lovely neighbours who are also close friends, and although we don’t get out much we have a fairly social life. When I was on maternity leave with DS we often hopped on the bus and spent our days in the local park / soft play / museum / library or with friends who had babies at around the same time. Will that still happen in Luxembourg? Will DH be able to keep up his cycling and rugby union? Are there nice coffee shops / cafes where I can write in the few hours I get to myself? Do they have CBeebies? 
We speak very, very basic French. That is all.
Help!
