LOL OK. Please don't base your concept of US suburban life on the posts of one 53 year old, middle class white lady living in Texas.

And I'll return the favor by not basing my concept of Finland on your posts! Everybody wins!

We have parliamentary elections next month and one of the issues are how to get the moms to work earlier.

Here, we let families make those decisions for themselves.

On a more positive note, from my home in suburbia I can hear a train in the distance several times a day (and at night). I love that sound.
