After a decade living in Denmark, the author's family returns to the UK, facing the bewildering challenge of cultural adjustments. Their time in Denmark, driven by a job opportunity, was marked by the appreciation of its health system, social customs centered on equality (like janteloven), and a simpler lifestyle. Now back in a rural UK setting, they grapple with their children's emotional transition while exploring ways to carry Danish ideals forward into their new life.
The Danish concept of janteloven reminds us that we're not superior to anyone else, fostering equality and a grounded perspective away from competition.
After 12 years in Denmark, moving back to the UK poses challenges, especially for my children, who deeply miss their friends and the culture they knew.
