We'll be moving to Paris from the Netherlands in January. My family of five will be together for the first couple of weeks, but from the February-vacation on we'll start the new thing: My husband will go out to work, my four year old to school (he speaks neither French nor English, poor thing) and my two youngest and me will be home. I'm both looking forward to this and dreading this whole new life. I will quit my job, refresh my Highschool French and find some new balance.
Sooo, I guess I am looking for a new tribe!
We will be moving to the 16th, close to the bois de Boulogne. My French is very rusty but I would like to pick it up. My 2,5 yr old still nurses, I am planning on going back to CD, we bedshare with the whole family, I carry my baby. It sounds pretty AP and I hope I am, but in the Netherlands I found it hard to find people that do the stuff we do, but without home-schooling or complete gentle discipline (I confess, I lose my temper now and then and I use time out. Don't worry, I tend to dream vividly about how that will get back at me in the long
). I visited the LLL-meetings here but never felt "good enough", do you know what I mean? It seems hard to find people that think of themselves as mainstream, but bf for a long time and bedshare or co-sleep and feel guilty as I do for giving the youngest a pacifier... That are concerned about our planet and then loose themselves for buying that really nice outfit, not second hand nor organic. Or ouch, eat something completely not eco- or animalfriendly. But be generally so happy about life, living, the family! Anyone catching my drift?
I read somebody telling about the LLL-meetings: could you tell me more about the atmosphere? And anyone else from Paris that reads a click here? I really hope so.
