@sheisapaigeturner: If your family is your village, that is now a luxury when it comes to parenting. Having family support not only enables families to be more financially successful but allows them to live a more well-rounded life. It is OK to pay for your village, but it cannot be denied that those people who have a built-in support system in their own families, have a leg up on the rest of us when it comes to parenting #myvillage #ittakesavillage #parentinghack #millennialparents #millennialmoms #childcare #familysupport #boomergrandparents

Omg yes. I’m so jealous of my brother and his wife who have a ton of family support on a daily basis.

It’s Not at all the same life we are living compared to the older generation. It sucks. Not the same world we are living in. 😢

💯. It’s going to come full circle too- we have NO family support. They exist but they don’t know our kids. I’m home so I’m the childcare BUT it goes

A lot of it too is that people are working longer. My grandparents were all retired when I was born. Our parents are not even close to that.

This. And it’s why we cannot go on to have more kids. We simply cannot afford to buy a village.

I think this can be true of found family as well. My friend group is so supportive of those with kiddos.

My in-laws passed away, my mom would be the only support we have but she’s so judgemental that I don’t even want her help once baby arrives 🥺

I also things sometimes families replicate that model. For example, my grandparents helped with my sister and me. Then my mom helped me with my kids.

I am so jealous of people who have this. We really underestimated how hard it would be to do this with zero help.
