Canadia

I think I'm tired of trying to change things here. I could move just a few hours away and not have to think about it.

I wonder how long and difficult it would be to emigrate to Canada.

we have friends who moved here, because despite having two degrees, our friend had to take two jobs to make enough to allow his wife to stay home. he said that stay at home parents are unheard of. is that your experience, or is that maybe his area? i dunno...they also had a lot of problems getting some pretty serious medical conditions addressed in a timely manner and are in general much happier being here.

interesting how different the perspectives can be!

It is interesting. I mean, for us we really have limited choice as to where we could live when we chose Canada almost 10 years ago. I'm from the States and my partner is from the UK. Our own countries had no immigration policy for same-sex couples, so, if we wanted to be together we had to go to Canada, New Zealand, and a few European countries. I think this has an influence on how we see life in Canada.

We are going to try the one of us stays at home thing - and I think we'll be able to do it financially. I don't think it's unheard of here - London, ON - but maybe it is in a bigger city like Toronto.

We've had no issues with the health care - but we live in a university town with major research hospitals, maybe that makes a difference.

We are also legally married here - and our baby has both our names on her birth certificate from the get go... this makes us love Canada.

well, yeah - i can see where the last part would pretty much outweigh any of that other stuff. :)
