Anyone else who lives here?
I moved to sweden 7 years ago. I met my husband who is swedish in germany on a schooltrip when I was 17 and as I liked sweden so much we decided to live here. A decision I have never regretted!!
I speak fluent swedish and have a good network of friends and inlaws. I do miss my english family loads though and the odd english food item.
I come over to the uk often and my family comes here lots too.
I have a DS three years 8 moths and a DD nearly 1. The system for maternity and paternity is so much better here and nursery cost max £100 a month from the age of 1. So i am still at home on maternity leave and will be for the rest of the year and my DH has mondays off as paternity leave so we have a 3 day weekend every week.
If anyone wants to chat about living abroad I am all ears!!
