[quote=Anonymous]The “grow your village” advice is so annoying. You can only do that if you have time. Most moms with full time jobs, partners, households to run, and other young kids to look after have no time. The idea that you can just build this amazing network of people to trust in a pinch by joining a church or putting your kid on a soccer team is ludicrous. Strong, trusting friendships take a long time to build, particularly in a city like DC where people are busy and can be very unfriendly and closed off. Dc also is extremely transient so people you may grow close to often leave the area. Oh and also - it’s a pandemic!!! [/quote]
