[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I think most people here who say “it takes a village” or whatever really just mean “it’s great when someone can pick up my kids after school” or similar. There is no actual desire for any kind of collective parenting model, which I agree goes totally against American culture. [/quote] Agree. I think OP summed it up nicely but these people who want more help with their kids don't want to pitch in to help others and certainly don't want anyone correcting their kid or giving them or the parent any kind of negative feedback. The only way to get what they want is to pay for it.[/quote]
