You may not have a Swiss passport, but if you're anything like The Frau, that won't stop you from becoming a Swiss parent. Here are 11 signs you're ready for that red passport:
You’ve bought the
rubber pants in one of two regulation colors from Migros.
Your toddler says no
in at least two languages
You have the Famigros
card (and the submarine shopping bag)
You’ve participated in
a Slow Up
You don’t have a car
but you have a stroller almost as big as one

You breathe a sigh of
relief when you score a train or tram with step-free entry
You can’t wait for
your child to turn three so they can be in the Waldspielgruppe
You realize the one and
only swing at the park is always taken
You realize no matter
what park you go to, it’s designed for 7-year-olds and the one and only swing
is still taken
You don’t even notice
that your child answers your English questions with Jas and Neins anymore
You make all day trips based on the Kinderwagenwandern book
Have you become a "Swiss parent?" How?

Tee hee, this is so true Chantal! And what is it with those swings (Riiti) - it's always taken. And the Waldspielgruppe! Thank you for taking me back in time...these days my kids are obsessed with iphones and ipad :( Haven't forgotten about those English books - will email you.
Schönes Wochenende!

It is so wonderful that your little one is growing up in Switzerland. I'm envious of the exposure to multiple languages and all the outdoor goodness! She'll be taking ski field trips before you know it! (Although to be fair, my husband did take a ski field trip when he was a boy in Northern California, so that type of trip is not exclusive to CH...)
Help with tuition fees may also be available if you’re a migrant worker from an EEA (European Economic Area) country or Switzerland, and in some cases to the children of Swiss nationals and Turkish workers in the UK top gadgets reviews online - gadgets in Pakistan.
