[quote=Anonymous]No having family around to help is a huge obstacle to having kids. We raised DC alone and DH traveled and it was super hard. Can't afford a nanny. MIL didn't help at all. She expected social visits from us, but never came over to do the dirty work. That's the main difference I see between my native country and the states. Where I'm from grandparents don't just visit, they work. They pick up kids from school, take them to activities, cook and clean, help them with homework. Basically replacing parents. Parents work long hours while they know kids are well taken care of. Here I haven't seen this done by American grandparents. Ever. Only when kids visit them, but never day to day. It's a sacrifice, and I suppose Americans are selfish and don't want to make sacrifices. [/quote]
