Oh this is a really sad comment. It takes a village, you know. Absolutely nobody should be forced to babysit a kid, but it takes a village to raise a child and I hope everybody would feel good about helping out a little, even if it just means a shoulder to cry on or making a meal when somebody needs it.[/quote]

NP. If I had a friend/neighbor who had no partner/support system and expected me to be their "village," I would be resentful. I have enough to handle with my own family. No one is making you have a kid. Please don't expect me to make you meals or take care of you because you need "a village."[/quote]

Amen sister! Also, this village the PPs speak of is gendered. No one complains about their brother not helping out but it’s always sisters, SILs, and MILs. And female neighbors and friends. Stop exploiting women’s labor![/quote]
