☆ My family of 5 lives in a small apartment. It helps us be minimalist and keep a connection with our neighbors.

My American family of five, two adults and three kids, lives in an apartment in Germany. AdvertisementOur family of five, two adults and three children, lives in an apartment in Germany. Apartment life is the norm where we live — most of our friends who have kids also live in apartments. However, since, by default, apartment life makes you more minimalist in terms of anything from furniture to toys, this certainly was helpful in regards to having far fewer boxes to pack. Apartment life is something that I feel contributes to our sense of community.

☆ I'm an American mom living in Germany. The Snoo, nanny shares, and stroller wagons are not very popular here.

Many American parents are used to utilizing a variety of parenting strategies and baby items in their everyday lives. The primary reason for this has to do with finances and parental leave. Day care or a private nanny can be very pricey, so a nanny share can help cut down on costs for some families. In Germany, both group day care and home day care providers are subsidized by the state; in some areas of Germany, day care is free of charge. But in Germany, due to lengthier parental leave, most kids start day care around age 1.

☆ I'm an American mom living in Germany. There's less variety to choose from at the grocery store and they all close on Sunday.

Although larger grocery stores will offer a bigger variety, it generally won't be as vast as an American supermarket. For instance, urban grocery stores in Germany simply don't have the physical capacity the way many American grocery shops do, allowing American shops to stock numerous brands and types of the same product. You have to bag your own stuffAt most major American grocery stores, your groceries generally get bagged for you as you check out. Most Germans do their grocery shopping at standard and discount grocery stores. Opening times at German grocery stores may seem short in comparison to US storesMany Americans who visit Germany are surprised to find that German grocery stores have more limited opening times than they are used to.

☆ I'm an American mom in Germany. When naming my kids, I had to take into consideration the meanings in 3 languages.
  + stars: | 2024-06-05 | by ( Naomi Kaye Honova | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
My husband and I each speak our native languages to the kids, and they learn German from day care and school. It's fantastic that they're growing up with three languages, but sometimes having multiple languages can present some quandaries when it comes to finding baby names. One classic example is that certain letters sound different in various languages, such as the letter "j," which makes a "y" sound in languages like Spanish and German but a "djuh" sound in English. As a result, names like Jonas or Juliana may not sound quite the same in different languages. You can also test out names in various languages if you're unsure how they'll be received by talking directly to native speakers.

☆ I live in Germany where there are laws around how to name your child. Kids can't be named after titles, places, or brands.

AdvertisementAmong my kids' classmates and friends, I can't name a single child born in recent years whose name falls into this category. Related storiesOne of my kids technically has a gender-neutral name, but admittedly, it wasn't an issue when we named him in Germany. Another interesting fact is that common German last names, like Schroeder or Fischer, can't be given as first names in Germany. The reason for these names being rejected is due to child protection grounds, as they are seen by German law as acts of child cruelty. Fortunately, this particular law was never an issue for us — we certainly never intended to give our children names like Stalin or Captain Marvel.

Read previewI'm an American living in Germany with my family, and it's been fascinating to observe the differences in elementary school between the US and Germany. German elementary school is 4 yearsIn Germany, kids go straight from preschool (which is called Kindergarten in Germany) to elementary school; there is no year of Kindergarten as Americans know it. German elementary school ends in fourth grade. AdvertisementThere are many more short-term vacationsFor many kids in Germany, the elementary school day is very short compared to an American school day. When I drop my younger kids off at preschool, I see hordes of elementary school kids en route to school sans grownups.

☆ German Vs. American Work Life: Differences According to US Mom

Germany has a more generous paid parental leave, which allows up to two years of leave. Related storiesIn terms of preventing burnout and optimizing productivity, taking vacation days has been proven to be helpful. As a result, nearly a third of American employees do not get paid vacation days at all, according to Forbes. For quality of life in the work commute, this does make a significant difference. Over a third of Germans don't sit in traffic on their work commute.

☆ I'm an American who gave birth to my 3 kids in Germany. I had a postpartum midwife covered by insurance, and a water birth in the hospital.

From pregnancy to birth to postpartum, there are many significant differences between the countries when it comes to having a baby. Midwives in Germany undergo extensive training and also lead most births, whether at a hospital, birth center, or home birth. I had so many pain relief optionsAt both hospitals and birth centers, Germany offers quite an array of pain relief options. My insurance covered prenatal and postpartum classesSomething really helpful for expecting parents in Germany is the fact that many prenatal and postpartum classes are covered partially or fully by health insurance. Last but not least, I loved that my insurance covered most of the costs for a postpartum pelvic floor exercise course called "ruckbildungskurs."

☆ I'm an American living in Germany. In day care kids here use real utensils and brush their teeth before nap.

As one might imagine, there are a number of significant differences between German daycares and American daycares. AdvertisementThe cost of day care depends on where you liveThe costs for day care differ throughout Germany based on your location. In some areas, day care for children from either ages 1 and up or ages 2 and up is completely free. Another interesting thing is that kids brush their teeth before naptime at German day care — you'll see adorable little toothbrushes all lined up in the bathrooms. I've definitely observed with my own kids how their day care experiences made them more independent at home.

In Germany, kids are given a lot of independence and they go outside all year. Cargo bikes, which have large baskets or carts, are particularly popular among German families with young kids. In Germany, kids are independent at a young ageGermany has been a culture shock for me when it comes to kids' levels of independence. Preschool isn't super academic focused — and kids learn about taking care of their teethMany kids brush their teeth in German preschools.
