An Indian tech couple living in Ireland for 11 years have announced they will move back to Pune by May next year, citing rising work pressure, fears over artificial intelligence, and lack of family support. They shared their decision on Reddit, saying their two daughters currently spend 8am to 6pm in childcare and school arrangements because there are no relatives nearby. In Pune, the children would walk from school into their grandparents' home, a picture that the couple said outweighed any spreadsheet. They argued that the grandparents' healthy years are now, not in a decade when they would return for hospital duty. The couple also said they do not feel rooted in Ireland, despite building a functional life there.
