[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is it like to have your family living nearby as part of your "village"? Do you have a lot of support? What does that look like? We live across the coast from our family so I'm just wondering how the other half lives.[/quote] We do, but they don't help with child rearing--we have hired our own child care: 1) my mom is too frail and not fair to expect her to run after small children 2) my brother and his wife have 4 kids so would never expect them to watch my children 3) my in-laws watch their other grandkids, plus they're not very reliable. We get together for dinners occasionally, but we've created our own "village". [/quote]
