I know, they were acting like I was trying to smuggle narcotics. Probably would have been easier than Aptamil.

Thank you, that’s kind. I’m fine now, just one of those situations where you wish people would have some heart rather than being complete jobsworths.

Oh and they’ve got rid of the security express lane for those travelling with babies (stupidly I didn’t book Runway this time) which just seems so un-family friendly.

We were accused of fraud for putting two boxes of baby formula (😱) in the ‘free’ hold pram bag. They made us take the formula out, still charged us €65 and said we “narrowly avoided them calling the Polizei.” Good grief, Christmas spirit is alive and kicking here.

Genuinely don’t know how I can ever go back to UK healthcare after being here so long. Had a baby this year and the healthcare has been incredible throughout. The thought of being at the mercy of NHS maternity care scares me to be honest.

Also I had to put some books I’d down while I lugged my baby + pram up these stairs and instead of offering to help me, a Dussmann employee helpfully cleared my books away. 🙄

I really need to pay more attention when I’m shopping in TK Maxx! Do all Americans start the week on a Sunday? It seems bizarre to me.

They just love to reprimand don’t they. No doubt that is tenfold once you’re a parent 😬

Have a look at MotelOne too, they’re nothing special but an ok price and well located to public transport and probably have a lot of accessible rooms.
