[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gosh people, whatever happened to "It takes a Village"?
Why are we abandoning the centuries old idea of community- woman helping woman, in favor of everyone on their own- good luck to you?

When my twins were babies, I had a few moms help out driving my older 2 to activities.  And now we drive their kids to activities (I pack 1 family of 4 kids in my minivan with my 2 older ones- love minivans)

Anyway, I got in 2 car accidents in 2 weeks due to severe sleep deprivation when my twins were 3 months old.  One- I turned right into a moving vehicle.  Neither of us could believe it- I apologized profusely.  Lucky, no one was hurt.  But simply, my eyes and brain were not working, and I did not see him at all.
I've never caused any other accidents in my 25+ years of driving.[/quote]

If you're going to invoke "it takes a village" and assign responsibility to me for your child, then you have to let me discipline your child as well. It doesn't work just one way.[/quote]
