[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neighbors. They’re helpful as your kids get older too. It’s very worth it to have a good relationship with people who live near by. [/quote]

Right because SAHM just love being used by WOHM!![/quote]

This doesn’t need to be a SAHM. I work out of the home and was emergency standby for my friend/neighbor when she was pregnant with her second.

These are the times when neighbors who are friends can be incredibly useful! [/quote]

Right but emergency standby, not plan A. Imo it's kind of wild if someone's PLAN A is to ask a neighbor to drop their life at literally any moment and do free service. Emergency and last resort is understandable, everyone should step up best they can, it would be crappy to deny someone in an emergency. But if you have months to plan, it's imo kinda rude not to explore options where you don't burden someone this much.[/quote]

But you really don’t have months to plan- you don’t know when the baby is going to come. When I had my second, I had a local friend on standby. She picked my older kid up from daycare and kept her until my parents got here. [/quote]
