[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No suggestions.  Just solidarity. It is so so hard.  And it certainly isn’t as nice as they said Holland would be.  Some days just suck and other days aren’t awful.  That’s the bar…today wasn’t awful.[/quote]

I love the poem reference btw.  [/quote]

What poem?  : )[/quote]

Different poster. The poem is welcome to Holland, which many parents seem to like. But that poem pisses me
Off with the fire of a thousand suns. It is all this zen nonsense of “well it may be different but it is still awesome in a different way.” Which isn’t the case at all for my 12 year old that is cognitively 9 months old. It is actually pretty terrible — not awesome Amsterdam when I thought I would get Paris.[/quote]

This essay explains well why some of us don’t feel like we are in Holland:

There is also a parody of this called "welcome to Beirut."  [/quote]
