[quote=Anonymous]This is really eye-opening for me. I have a 15-year-old and 17-year-old and I can say that we have almost absolutely no "support system," based on what people have described here. My inlaws live 2 miles away but never ever babysat--except for the one weekend or night a year that THEY picked to take the kids at their house overnight. I had a twin sister nearby, who was sweet, but clueless and not of any help, then she died when were were forty and the kids were still very young. For a year, a few years after our second was born, my husband worked Mon-Thur in another city. I worked 30 hours per week outside the home, so we did hire a part-time nanny for a short period of time, until both kids could be in preschool. I just never knew we were supposed to have more help. No matter our marriage has been awful and this last 18 years has not been that blissful. Pretty sure my older is addicted to weed, which keeps me up nights. Boy, sure do wish we had known we were supposed to have a "village."[/quote]
