I'm 41. Born on February 4th, 1982 :)

I guess you hadn't learned that giving birth requires expensive, highly certified, licensed professionals whose fees have been grossly inflated by 'insurance."

Well having a Russian passport right now is kind of shit, The USA's passport is pretty bad in my opinion, double taxation and renouncing fees are insane.

We did the same. Amazing private clinic cost us about $2k out of pocket and that was for a cesarean section, private room, everything.

@@Anonymoose66G I agree, however the US still provides access to some of the best paying jobs in business opportunities (for now)

@@CashCatz Yes and discretionary income is lower in comparison, correct me if I'm wrong but the country with the highest average discretionary income is Switzerland. Let's say that The USA was the best place to make money anyways for the sake of it, what do you have to put up with? A lack of workers rights, medicine and medical procedures are at least 4x the price of any developed nation, poor urban planning/design, the highest incarceration rates, poor education, school shooters, one of the highest gun crime rates in the developed world, etc, etc it's endless. To me it's not worth it even if my income increased say 40%.

@@Anonymoose66G You don't have to be in the US to have access to US income - but you do need citizenship. I live in Russia but earn dollars. Win-Win while the exchange rate is 95:1 and US dollar is still king (for now).

😃 thank you. Glad you think so 😃

It’s true❤

​@@RussianPlusHi Slava, Congratulations on becoming a father.. I'm a long time subscriber of your channel from India.. I'm coming to Yekaterinburg tomorrow..let me know if it's possible to catch up for a coffee ?

@manjunathmnm thank you 😊

Thanks 😊 glad it all worked out for you. We were thinking about going to the US to do this, but it would be too risky, we thought. We didn’t wanna have any additional risks.😊 monetary or otherwise

With virtually any USA insurance, the allowable amount will typically be about 10% of the billed. And your cost share will be a tiny amount of that. Crazy, but medical billed amounts are a hoax. When I was in Norway my host was bragging about how little they paid out of pocket for healthcare. It was pretty much I paid here in the USA.

Most health plans seem to be high deductibles now, so you still pay more than you can afford. But mine was $60k with all the bills added up (you get a stack of bills, not one). Of course, even with high deductibles, you still want to be in a network. A recent $469 office visit was only worth $68 - and of course, which happens often, the office billed wrong and owes me money. It's a time wasting game.

Thank you so much 😊

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you 😊 I can’t wait to see what she will look like when she gets older 😊

Lol that because your insurance paid for it ( and you have to pay for the insurance monthly) they pay $600 WITHOUT THE INSURANCE AT ALL! JUST DIRECT PAY TO THE CLINC

I agree 😊

Thank you 😊😃 we’ll do that

all praise to the LORD..... who is owner of the all countries

good tips. i might add that you should enjoy every moment. they grow up really quick and you'll never get to relive these moments. this is it, so better enjoy the heck out of it. having said that, parenting is the hardest thing i've ever done.

Thank you very much. I hope so too 😊

Большое спасибо 🙏

Thank you so much!

Thank you. It’s been a rough ride. Especially emotionally. We even tried clinics in Moscow but the one in our home town worked the best for us. I hope everything works out for you.😊.

Thanks! Absolutely, the emotional component is awful. It’s hard to maintain hope, and you start to get unfairly resentful of people around you who have no problem having children. It’s extremely isolating.

😃 thank you

Thanks for the tips!

Ms Lena and Master Slava (not intended as to master and slave, even if a pun for Slava would fit in naturally, haha, get him Lena) just wanted to say both my parents were deaf (both deceased). As a young boy, I learned American (old style, there is a new stye too) sign language. Probably cried a lot less than other babies (my parents couldn't hear me partly a poor tasting joke). What I found out was most basic sign language is GLOBAL. Serving in the USMC, over seas was eye awaking (hearing impaired, lousy pun) was in Japan, Korea and Tiawan. Young deaf ladies met (5 at the USO club in Tiawan 1 night) and we hit it off extremely well to speak/sign together with each other. (I'll leave out all of the details). Learning to deaf sign is very helpful when one needs to communicate in a large crowd! Across a vast area where a voice would be impossible. It is also a safe way to communicate should there be a distressful or troubling situation. It's a life learning experience that will open future doors for all as the world we live in is really very small.

Thank you so much. Great advice! We’re going to put it to practice 😊

@@RussianPlus Wish you and your family all the best and thank you for great entertainment: I really appreciate how objective you are about Russia

It's most important that kids can clearly distinguish between the different languages. We opted for mom speaking her native tongue, daddy (me) speaking his native tongue and we have a third, common family language which is english. so far it works very well, we have no issue with mixing but the eloquence and sentence complexity clearly varies between the different languages since it's hard to mimic the full immersion you'd get in a complete, single language environment. kid's too young for media consumption (in our opinion) but we readbooks in all 3 languages (obv), movies will eventually follow (focusing on the harder languages on of which is very hard, the simplest one being english obv) and we'll add proper lessons for the difficult one (with a different alphabet) when appropriate, likely in parallel to school. personally i think 3 languages is the very maximum, esp. since they may be forced into second languages in school which in our case adds a 4th rather soon and a 5th somewhat later - i'm still pondering on how to deal with this but it seems counterproductive. we're working on a way out of that....

Thank you 😊

Спасибо большое😊. Будем стараться 😃

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much!! She is a lot of fun that’s for sure😂

Thank you so much!!

Thank you so much!

Thank you. That’s exciting. I can’t wait to read some bedtime stories. 😃

Thank you so much! i hope so

I guess it does. With all the baby stuff 😂

Thank you very much. We’ll see. I’d love to have a son too😂

Awesome! Honestly, boy or girl doesn't matter much, but having a sibling helps her grow with a playmate and not to have as much psychological problems in the future. You have a beautiful baby I hope she'll look like your pretty sister.@@RussianPlus

Thank you:)
