[quote=Anonymous]A village is people who care about your kid (and in my mind, free of charge). That can be family (grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc), neighbors, friends. Anyone who can essentially act as surrogate parents when you are unavailable. Are there people in your lives who would drop everything to watch your kid in an emergency? Do you have neighbors who will walk your kid to school with theirs in the morning so you can leave for work early? Is there a friend who will speak up to correct your kid's bad behavior? Those kinds of people make up your village.[/quote]
