[quote=Anonymous]Grew up in a mid sized Midwest town in the 70s. It was a lot like this. We were accountable to every adult we encountered. Other parents would correct us and/or rat us out to our parents. I have deep love for those other families we grew up with, many of whom were emotionally more invested in us than our biological family spread out across the country. People have forgotten that women are community builders and just kept asking things of us. We can’t do it all. [/quote]
