Hello everybody,
I am quite happy to have found this forum, took me a while, though...
I moved here with my English husband and 2 kids from Germany (I am German) at the beginning of the year. To make things more complicated for us, we went to the French speaking Vaud and now live close to Lausanne.
I'd love to hear from other women stuck in the same situation (and place?) as myself - I just cannot see myself ever returning to work within the next 100 years. They sure don't make it easy for women with kids. No offence, but being a housewife and mother is not my thing.
Maybe I should move straight on to the complaints section?
Looking forward to meeting lots of you,
swisskat

hallo! woher kommst du aus D?
whats the prob? you not speaking french?
or is welsh land more anti back-to-job-with-kids?
im from germany too and had some offers that i missed
after it turned out that the comps requested french more then
stated in the ad (or it was their excuse to kick me out...)

wird schon werden...

Originally from around Hanover, but we lived in the East with their fantastic socialist childcare system for the last 10 years and are a bit spoiled now...
My French is pretty good, but my lovely ignorant husband hasn't passed the "I know one insult in every language"-stage yet, his work is run in English, so there's no need.
In a little while, when my baby is a bit older, I will definitely try to get some work. It seems readily available here!
Schaun mer mal...

how does (t)his stage touch you?
or is he applying for you?
i have lived in hannover too, did my service for the army there
n was raised in the east. i know what you mean /are missing. mh, it seems that it costs a fortune to hand your child to kindergarten...

its good to keep it up...will all turn fine out sooner or later.
my gf´s mother has been at home for a long time n got a job
later on and that with an age of 52.

good luck!
