Trondheim and having kids in Norway

3 years ago
I recently got a job offer with ~650K NOK/year salary. We are still thinking about it.
We are a family of four, two kids age 2 and 4, and my husband is a software developer and if we agree to move with my job then he'll start looking for a job.

I read some pretty scary things about raising kids and that kids in Norway tend to be bullies toward foreigners, etc. ... is social culture really having a breakdown in Norway?
Can anyone comment on that?

my other question is about general cost of life. If we manage to earn 2×650K NOK per year, would that suffice?

I do have another issue. I just found out I'm pregnant with my third child.
I read that the healthcare is not so great in Norway and that you generaly rely on private practices...
I also read that you basically can't complain if you lose your job for being pregnant...
Does anyone here have some experience with that?
