Everyone has different wants, needs, and beliefs. You don't value an elite career with high earning potential and that's fine. Other people do and are willing to employ the village to help them. Let them be.[/quote]

Call it what you want, but the village is pretty much raising the children in such situations.[/quote]

+1 Ew don't call your hired help "the village." In an actual "village," you wouldn't get to go off doing something else for 8+ hrs a day while other women raise your child for you.[/quote]

This is just such a weird perspective. Do you think teachers also raise your kids for you? Coaches for after school sports?[/quote]

Seriously.  Hired help is not a village.

Here is an example of a village:  When DH was growing up abroad his mom was working and MIL’s sister’s husband’s relative offered to watch him, free, just because she could.  What would we call that lady in the US?  A crazy person?  A sucker?  [b]Anyway hired help is not a village.  A village is people who care about you and will help you even if you have nothing to offer in return in that moment.  [/b]And then you pay it forward.[/quote]

Standing ovation.  This is such an important distinction.  I’ve learned the hard way several times that nannies and sitters were NOT there for us when they had more exciting plans.  [/quote]
