[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a village. It’s not family, it’s friends and neighbors with similar age kids. I help them and they help us, it’s rare but we know we are there for each other. Last week during a storm my kid (11) was at the pool and they closed for thunder. I wasn’t there, a friend of mine brought her home, that’s being a village…. [/quote] and back in the day, there would have been a dozen moms who knew you and your siblings at the pool and would have offered you a ride home. They didn't keep score with our mom. They were always local and available to help out, keep an eye out for one another. You could be at choir practice, the library, tennis lessons, a little league game etc. and either your parent would give rides or others would offer you. Somehow it just worked out. [/quote]
