FIL not going. Hmmmmm....
MIL and wife idea.................. Gee........
FIL probably glad to get rid of his wife and dont care about relatives that went their after WW2??? Sounds like the frauleins are running da show.
Was there a few times on business in the 1990s. Frankly don’t remember a lot, but seems like it was quite poor. I was almost entirely out in the countryside as opposed to in the cities. Not sure why anyone from the USA would move there, unless it was a temporary work assignment.
"Paraguay was a popular place for German leaders accused of war crimes to retreat after the second World War. Also, there is a large minority of German descendants living in the department of Itapúa, mainly in the Departmental Capital, Encarnación and the German town of Hohenau. Most of the Germans who settle in this region came from the larger German colonies from neighboring Brazil and Argentina."
I believe it is the poorest country in S. America. What President Trump called a "sh** hole country." Run by a dictator. Sounds like a great place to live.
Seems like an odd choice. Paraguay is a poor, landlocked and relatively small South American country. It has a lot of the problems common in Latin American countries, namely, corruption and marginal rule of law. It's probably cheap to live there, which might be part of the rationale for wanting to move there. Still, unless you had relatives or close friends there, it seems like an unlikely choice.
You wanna know what's insane, Argentina and Paraquay have German colonists from the Nazis and before. Both are beautiful countries. There are German towns in several of those countries that will blow your mind.
My question to you is do you have money?
If so, you can pay local bandits to harass them so much they move back to the USA.
All of this Plandemic stuff has affected folk in many different ways, they might be able to enjoy a more unmonitored stress free life with more freedoms than in other countries to include our own.
I hope your grandson ain’t carrying a life insurance policy, red flags in your post.
Moving to a chithole with a mother in law, 2 kids to feed and no job sounds like a good life choice. It will be cheaper for him to divorce her now so she can’t take the kids out of country, because that’s going to end badly.

OVERALL RISK : MEDIUM. Paraguay is generally a safe country though it has its many dangers in the form of petty crime, violent crime, smuggling, money laundering, corrupt police and many other.
The most famous are 'the heart of South America', 'the land of water' and 'the island surrounded by mainland'. Largest navy: Although Paraguay only has land borders, it has a large navy. Of all the countries in the world without access to the sea, Paraguay has even the largest naval power
Paraguay is a rich country, but full of poor people,” says Eladio Flecha, general secretary of the Partido Paraguay Pyahura. “The distribution of wealth is very unequal: 80 percent of land is held by 2.5 percent of the population, and 161 people control 90 percent of the wealth of our country.

161 people control 90% of the wealth in Paraguay, which also has the largest Navy, for a landlocked country, in the world. OK..., what are they shipping? (In, or out?) And to what ports?
A large navy, and no access to the sea. Why would they spend so much money on a navy? I wonder if they have a big lake they can float around on. The Paraguayan Admirals can recreate the Battle of Midway on the lake in Paraguay. War games.
Next month, they will recreate the Battle of Trafalgar.
Paraguay or anywhere’s else, he’s pretty well fugged.
About the only place south of the border having anything close to resembling a democratic government would be Costa Rica and it’s changing rather fast.
The US sold/gave old ships to a lot of S. American countries, Paraguay included. We made UNITAS cruises (circumnavigated the continent),excersicing and training the Navies. Oh yeah, and visiting fun places

Or Jutland
Mebbe they have of overabundance of former Kreigsmarine officers just setting around with nothing to do.
Archaeologist son had a great time on a project in Ecuador. And, apparently they use our money. They were real close to one of the coastal towns where Papa Hemingway was trying to snag on of those record swordfish. Him being a bit of a foodie, he said he went to the market every day and grabbed up fresh seafood items he prepared for evening chow.
However he did say he didn’t want to live there. He also said getting there was a bit of a challenge. Had to do an over night stop in El Salvador which was worse than Indian country.
Paraguay has been a refuge for many through the years. It was the destination of choice for Anastazio Somoza after the U.S. denied him the right to enter.
Of course, he was assassinated there within the year... Assuncion is a pretty cool place, none the less...

Who has a stable representative democratic republic north of the border?
And you are incorrect about the government of Paraguay. They have issues (and we don't?) but their government seems to be modeled after ours
Hey OP, do you know anything about the father in law?
No one seems to have mentioned the fellow might be the issue and since mother in law came from Germany perhaps there's no relatives for her to get away from the old man here in the States.
Might could be he's a wife beater and for all we know diddled the daughter for years and still wants to.
Lots of reasons to leave, and maybe the women have a good one?

Hemingway and others used to fish Cabo Blanco Peru for beeeg black marlin. Had a clubhouse that hosted John Wayne and other notable Americans.
Pretty sure it's reverted back to the natives at this point.

Thanks Madmooner. I was alluding more to the waters! Same general area. South Ecuador/ North Peru. 😉😊

I have experience in SA, but not with Paraguay specifically. Although I did train a couple guys that were Paraguayans.
Paraguay is poor. Even by SA standards.
A number of places that I would consider living in SA. Paraguay would not be one of them from what I have heard and experienced. In fact, if I were to list places in SA to spend an extended period of time, Paraguay would be about 5 or 6th from the bottom.
Others have touched on the subject, the situation as described is a train wreck happening before your eyes. For grown adults to suggest what your daughter in law and her mother are suggesting is beyond idiocy. It is lunacy. It will not end well. Your son needs to put his foot down and say no. And if the dil balks, file divorce papers pronto to keep her from taking the kids out of the country.
There is no way this ends well for him or the grandkids.
Sounds like an excellent place to live if you like rural living. I suspect an ambitious moderately educated person could do well in the agricultural industry.
Southern south America has some excellent hunting for introduced species! The trout fishing on the eastern slopes of the Andes is world class - all introduced.

Right on, Kaywoodie. It was meant as an add on to your post. Pretty sure the old man fished where ever the big fish swam! Ecuador, Peru, Cuba....

The Parana River is over a mile wide on their border and it is not far down that to the sea. They probably have ocean access through treaties.
"Paraguay – The Armed Forces of Paraguay operate a navy of around a dozen vessels and has several thousand personnel. It operates on the country's major rivers, notably the Paraguay River and the Paraná River. The Paraguayan Navy could reach the open sea by traveling downriver through Argentina. The Paraguayan Navy served in the Paraguayan War and in the Chaco War."

probably don't want to bother taking swimming trunks
Well Hubert, your grandson has already let it ALL go too far, a man doesn't get led around by a mouthy woman OR her mother, a man should listen to his own mother, but then do as "he" see's fit, he ignored the warning signs early on with these two and married those problems anyway, so he now has to ride that shltshow out.

Allowing his and his children's future to be washed down the drain by a couple of heavy-handed female nut jobs.
Meh...frick it. You’re only young once. He should go and have some adventures. Nearly every country in the world has an enclave of two that are as nice as anywhere. Usually Americans and Europeans can get in them by virtue of their relative wealth.
If you travel a little, one thing you learn is that the “Home of the free and land of the brave” is a load of bullschit in lots of ways. Sure, lots of countries have worse laws, but they are a whole lot less concerned about enforcing them than we are. They don’t have that puritanical Yankee neurotic desire to stamp out all fun and make sure everyone fits a cookie cutter mold of correct thought. I mean schit, ask those poor bastards getting cornholed on a daily basis in Washington D.C. jails for the last five months while they await trial on the deadly serious crimes of things like misdemeanor criminal trespass how free they feel. Can anything in Paraguay be any worse?
By the way, Paraguay consistently ranks as “The happiest country on earth” based on polls of residents. A little research shows it to be a fairly right wing place and one of the fastest growing economies in South America. Hell, your son might be getting in on the ground floor of a good thing.
In-laws from Germany Grand son married a German Girl..
#strange.
Not that he married a German gal, but they picked Paraguay.
Would have thought Argentina.
Lot of the Nazi SS wound up in Paraguay.
Bunch of Nazis ended up in both places, actually.
Plus Chile. I'd take Chile or Argentina over Paraguay. Only thing that Paraguay makes is Tagua holsters (junk). On a related note, I just finished reading a book called The Real Odessa about the Nazi ratline to Argentina. Everyone knows that Pope Pius was crooked but the book also mentions Cardinal Montini as being heavily involved. He became Pope Paul VI. Yet another reason that I've abandoned my Catholic upbringing.
Tell Grandson to wake up and get his head out of his AZZ... Tell him to tell his wife " NO " we are not moving to some shiit-hole south american country and endangering our children. That's just nuts.
He needs to get his job back or look for a new one ASAP, plenty of help wanted signs out there.

The question is why is anyone on this board trying to dissuade a young man from going somewhere where he might be a bit more free? Post pics of your 30 round magazines and see how long it takes them to come get you. You may not be on board with it, but you still live under it.

You just can't understand how dark the popes were until you go to Italy and study their history. Incredible.

Oh, I know about that. It's just when something happens in your lifetime (him being pope), it's a lot different than old history. You can always think "things were different back then and we're more civilized now". Nope, in some cases.

A bit more free in Paraguay perhaps. How good is living there otherwise though? 56% of the population lives in poverty, avg. monthly income is $422. With political unrest, chronic economic and crime problems I'll stay right here in NY until I'm ready to leave... Yap all you want.

Surprised they're not antifa, too.
Purple or blue hair?
No shlt Buddy LD, i dont talk to anyone that way, damn sure wont take lip from a mouthy woman OR her mother, i have never had to apologize for anything i've said to the people i love and care for, it's a simple matter of thinking before you speak, these crazy head yapping bitches would get hit in the head with a maul around here!
I just got back from Costa Rica. It's a nice country, beautiful beaches, people are pretty nice. There is still a lot of poverty and petty crime there though and it's supposed to be one of the best places south of here. I liked it much better than Mexico.
A friend of mine who's also here on the campfire said his dad had to sell his dream home he built down there at a major loss and come back to the USA. I guess his taxes had gone up 1000% over 10 years and his home started getting broken into.
Food seemed very expensive down there and not very good. It was $10 for a small box of cereal and milk was $6 a gallon. My wife kept asking how do these people afford to eat. I told her they eat beans and rice not imported processed stuff. It seemed like little of the food we bought was made there.
When I lived in South Africa we ate well for less money than in the USA. But they had all their own brands and made many things there and didn't have to import. Some of it was very good quality.
