[quote=Anonymous]so much patronizing. "it's in his head" "he is missing his childhood" yada yada. does it ever occur to you people that there is some other place in this world that actually provides better quality of life, all things considered?

i am an immigrant and so is my husband. oner of the relatively poorer european countries. i have lived in the US for 20+ years and here is the thing - the life is now actually better in our old country. this is not in my head, i am not imagining that i will be a child again eating my mom's meals and playing with my childhood friends. actual americans (with no prior connections) are moving there and marveling at the quality of life.

the US has grown stagnant while many countries in the world have moved forward. many advantages of living in the US do not hold anymore, for many reasons. and since you are going to ask - yes, i have in fact gone back. to a leisurely pace of life where all neighborhoods are walkable, there is almost no crime, and i can send kids to the nearest school where they will be taught rigorous programs for free.
