I probably would have lost my temper with him, which of course, would have only fed his fire. But someone needs to take him down a peg or two!! How dare he! Really! How dare he treat a baby like that.

I really dislike doctors like this. I think some of it may be the generation. Younger doctors tend to treat their patients like they are partners in the process, whereas the older ones tend to act like they have the right to do whatever they damn well want, and you better sit down and shut up. I dislike them, and if I’ve got my act together, I tell them not to touch me until they explain exactly what they are planning to do.

Grr! Makes my blood pressure boil. And then the nerve to say all that nasty stuff to you, when it’s obviously him who has the problem.

I would feel no qualms about choosing another doctor. I would probably also write him a letter telling him exactly why I was not coming back and how inappropriate he had been.

I will try her doc in the neighboring village. :)

I wish I would have known you were here I could have ran and waved!!! :)

It is beautiful here. I am amazed each day with the beautiful in Switzerland.

It isn’t that I care what people think about me but I do care when it comes to my children. I need to calm the mama in me. Plus, we have our neighbors wagging their tongues. If Vilay and I have an arguement which married couples do half the village knows about it before the end of the week. If we have to stay in this village we will still be moving out of this building. Some of the people in this building are mean people. We have NO PRIVACY. None.

I have noticed that there are people in our village that don’t associate with others and are polite. I am sure it is for the same reasons.

I really enjoy many things about living in our village but in the end I am a city girl. So, we will end up back in a city or really close to one like you.

I didn’t need their approval or friendship, I have a life of my own, if they don’t have a life and need to point the finger, well, too bad for them… I think you should do like me. Do not care about it, small village mentality will never change, just stay polite and say hello but keep on movin’…

BTW the weather has been GORGEOUS!!! How great!!! On they day I moved here,
I drove by your village,I got lost, the road was closed and I drove around not knowing where to go, I took this BEAUTIFUL road along a crystal clear lake/river, GORGEOUS, somehow I ended up in France!!! I had to drive back until some worker told me where to go:-)

My village is small too ( 400 people ) but it is so close to a larger city that it feels we’re in the suburbs and not in a “real” isolated village.

Please do post a follow up after the next doc visit!!!

We have hit about every village around us either by walking or by train. There are some villages that are larger and very nice that I think would do. However, Vilay and I are looking at finding a larger city to move to since that is what we prefer. We would like to live close to a large city or in one. Of course, we will still visit all the villages on weekends but we are city folk at heart. :)

I think the more you travel around your Jura village area, the more you can maybe figure out which villages you tend to like more?

I certainly knew which areas I really loved.

I have been reading about your adventures with moving even if I haven’t been commenting much. I think in the end both our families will be all settled into new lives by the end of this year. :)

I totally get your village thing. I live in a small town. Not for long anymore. We are moving back to the city for those same reasons. I don’t know what posessed me to move here. Small towns are a strange place I don’t get. And don’t really want to. My thoughts are with you.
