  • New and from Europe

    Hi there! Just stumbled across this forum, as I was trying to find forums to connect to via Tapatalk - yes, I'm a little bit addicted to internet chatrooms

    I live in Europe (the nordic countries) with my husband, who is 34. I'm 39 (hence my profile name MrsRobinson ). We have a daughter, who just turned one year, and we are hoping to have another child, but due to my age it's not for sure. Maybe we will adopt instead.

    My husband finished med school in 2006 (I think), and he wants to be a rheumathologist. At the moment he is doing a ph.d., which turned out to be more time consuming than any of his other 'normal' hospital jobs. Unfortunately, we just had a daughter, when he started, so when I was on maternity leave, he was working a lot including weekends. It was very hard, as our daughter was a non-sleeper and cried a lot the first 9 months. Now he is on paterity leave for three months, and I go to work instead. Bliss!

    I work as a journalist in a company, creating PR, branding and press relations.

    I'm looking forward to meet you people, even though I'm not sure if I really 'need' this forum. But I love to meet new people and write on the net, when I want a break from work, so I think I'll be happy to be here, also

    Feel free to ask any questions, if you think I have left out something

              Welcome. Good to see another person with ties to Scandinavia on the board. Which Nordic country are you living in?

                              I'm curious to hear which country you are from too, but understand if you don't want to share. I was able to visit Stockholm in 2008 and loved it!
