Not How. But Why.

It takes a village. We hear that all of the time when it comes to raising children. This “village” that is spoken of used to consist of nearby immediate family, extended family, other mothers, cousins, neighbors, friends, etc. They brought over meals, watched the kids, ran an errand, kept you company, helped you clean up the kitchen, etc. This was feasible when mothers stayed at home and actually lived in a village. Now let’s fast forward to modern day. My husband and I both work demanding full-time jobs.
