[quote=Anonymous]Omg the village is not free childcare though this happens It’s people who love and give of themselves to your family and you do the same in return. I helped raise my friends kids - they are now having their own kids. They call me their second mom. When their mom isn’t around they call me mom. We found it’s confusing otherwise as this isn’t some open or lesbian relationship. My son is an only child, we do family dinner w another family (my sons godparents and god brother). They teach my son, I teach their son and they are emergency contactsz We travel for work but they aren’t my childcare. They will come through for emergencies if we are gone though. We email the village updates - good and bad. I don’t know how to do lots of things. But my village knows and they teach him those things. This is not hard.[/quote]
