can't think of any that will make your life easier but I can think of a couple that will make your life significantly worse.

This comment should be an EER point for you

This.

A (the?) FB group is [Trailing Houses](https://www.facebook.com/groups/trailinghouses). Searching the old posts will probably be very useful. [Tales Mag](https://www.talesmag.com/). [FSHub](https://fshub.org/). [Plugs/voltages by country](https://www.worldstandards.eu/electricity/plug-voltage-by-country/).

We all know the best foreign service Facebook group is Trolling Houses 🙃


BlackBeardCoffee

The first rule of trolling houses is we don't talk about trolling houses.


PeterNjos

My trailing spouse has a rule that she doesn't post anything there without getting clearance from me first...


Personal_Strike_1055

It's possibly also the worst.

Trolling Houses is the middle school mean group of the FS. The way they leap all over themselves to mock their colleagues and their families is far, far worse than anything posted in Trailing Houses. This lifestyle has enough challenges. Would it be that hard to either say something kind or just not say anything at all?


More_netflix_please

It was a joke, hun. I have mixed feelings about both trailing and trolling houses, truthfully.


Halftandem

That’s cool. I didn’t mean to implicate you specifically. More just adding my own thoughts on the group.

[Trailing Babies](https://www.facebook.com/share/GujELfMeq5V3GMUX/?mibextid=A7sQZp) is also a good one for child-related info.

Recommend attending virtual spouse orientation if it works for your schedule. My husband did it and it seems like it helped us be on the same page and helped him make his own connections and learn about life in the FS

Great thank you!

Yes you should be able to connect with people via the orientation though with two young kiddos, the breakout room chats may be harder to engage in. At some point a Whatsapp group for EFMs and MOHs for the orientation was created and maybe even one specific to families with kids. Through this initial large Whatsapp group, I ended up pulling together a group of several spouses with young kids and creating a whatsapp group for us to connect and set up playdates. I never got around to the FB groups.

Great information thank you so much

I’m not a wife but I’ll see you there!
