I worked really, really hard to leave the US and move to Europe because the thought of raising a kid in the US is frightening. Note I was raised in the US. (note also bicycling safety, walkability, and lack of disdain for intelligence and encroaching fascism. And the metric system is nice) Think hard about what you value. Ironically I adore Germany, but have only holidayed there.

Which European country did you settle in?

Ireland, which is actually mediocre for bike infrastructure and has its own issues (the church influencing schools among them) but on the whole is a much friendlier place than the US.
