Pack your things and move to New Zealand. I fear the states will only get worse over the coming years.

i live in NZ and my son was wearing some light up shoes once, and this American couple was telling me that kids are advised against wearing light up shoes in america because it can give your position away. thinking about that made me soo sad and thinking I would never want to send my child too school If I lived there.

It is so hard for us New Zealanders to comprehend what kind of anxiety Americans go through simply shopping for kids shoes and supplies it is inconceivable those thoughts of a shooting would ever enter my head space I feel for you guys

My husband took my 4year old to pick out new tennis shoes for the playground at TK. She was SO excited to show me them when she got home and when I saw they were light up shoes my heart DROPPED.

My husband asked me the other day why I was bringing my ID to a concert even though I’m pregnant and not drinking. My answer? Because what if something happens and they need to be able to identify my body?

I think about that every time I go to the movie theater and concerts. I plan my escape and like to get certain seats where I know the door is close and my car is too

None of the European countries have this type of violence. Eventually good people will find other options. Sad
