There are plenty of students in Copenhagen because the city is home to a lot of educational institutions. And because of this many parents see an opportunity to purchase or invest in an apartment for their children. Here, we’ll take a look at what a parental purchase is exactly.

Parental purchases secure the college lives of young people  

It’s always lovely to see your children succeed in life, but every time they finish something in their lives, something else begins. When they are done with high school, they are either going to some sort of college or university unless they squeeze a sabbatical year in between.

If your child has reached a point in their lives where you need to look into the future for educational possibilities in Copenhagen, then the first challenge is to solve the housing situation. It can be hard finding a place to live in Copenhagen, but it is definitely solvable with money. That’s why parental purchases are popular these years, but what is a parental purchase exactly?  

Expensive rental apartments make parents choose parental purchases as an investment

It’s obvious that a parental purchase means where parents purchase an apartment on behalf of their children. This is done because the children more often than not don’t have the finances to buy their own place and renting an apartment in Copenhagen is not as easy as renting something in other parts of the country, which is cheaper as well.

Besides, it’s a shame to throw away money after a lease that doesn’t give you ownership rights, when you in most cases would be able to use the same money on something you own when the purchase is done. Therefore, you could say that it is a kind of investment, and the parents who purchased an apartment on behalf of their children 10-20 years ago, will most likely have made good money on that investment today.

Get the right counseling

It’s a good idea to get counseling from for example a housing lawyer when considering a parental purchase. If you find a housing lawyer with a lot of experience with this, you will be more likely to get a good deal but also receive help regarding paperwork and documents that will need to be filled out in regards to the parental purchase.

As said, there are many things to consider with a parental purchase and therefore it’s important that you don’t just accept the first offer that springs to mind. In some cases, you might risk purchasing something your children can’t use. So, consider your options and don’t compromise. Get the right counseling and see the purchase as an investment that might benefit you and your children in the future.

A survey carried out by Megafon for TV2 has found that 71 percent of parents have handed over children to daycare in spite of them being sick.

Moreover, 21 percent of those surveyed admitted to medicating their kids with paracetamol, such as Panodil, before sending them to school.

The FOLA parents’ organisation is shocked by the findings.

“I think it is absolutely crazy. It simply cannot be that a child goes to school sick and plays with lots of other children. Then we are faced with the fact that they will infect the whole institution,” said FOLA chair Signe Nielsen.

Pill pushers
At the Børnehuset daycare institution in Silkeborg a meeting was called where parents were implored not to bring their sick children to school.

At Børnehuset there are fears that parents prefer to pack their kids off with a pill without informing teachers.

“We occasionally have children who that they have had a pill for breakfast,” said headteacher Susanne Bødker. “You might think that it is a Panodil more than a vitamin pill, if it is a child who has just been sick, for example.”

Parents sick and tired
Parents, when confronted, often cite pressure at work as a reason for not being able to stay at home with their children.

Many declare that they simply cannot take another day off, as they are afraid of being fired.

Allan Randrup Thomsen, a professor of virology at KU, has heavily criticised the parents’ actions, describing the current situation as a “vicious circle”.

“It promotes the spread of viruses, and it adds momentum to a cycle where parents are pressured by high levels of sick-leave. If they then choose to send the children to daycare while they are still recovering, they keep the epidemic going in daycares, and this in turn puts a greater burden on the parents.”
