Ebony Millgate :
Well my mum never messages me to see how I am or ever ask if I need help. She drops by unannounced expecting to just hold my babies even if I just put them down in the cot. I’m not refusing a village

Gemma :
Can we also accept that not only the older generation but others don’t respect the parents boundaries which makes trusting them with your child more difficult.

Chokity :
My friends “pop around” and help with the laundry if I’m doing it. When my parents “pop around” and I’m doing the laundry, they just complain it isn’t done yet and how messy the house is.

Or the village ignores safety regulations that have come about since they raised kids over 20 years ago right in front of you so how are you meant to trust them when you’re not there 🙄

I think parents need to let go about the little things. Kids are going to be shaped by everyone - teachers, friends, neighbors, that one checkout girl that called my hair fluffy that one time.

abellabella :
I think a conversation we’re not ready for is the egotism in motherhood. Alienating family from your children for sake of your own control or due to personal pain is not healthy for you or your kids.

I need a village and more support. But I am a single parent with a 50% arrangement. Struggle for time and struggle to see how I would return the favour. So I go it alone.

Society isn’t set up for villages bc most parents are working and kids are in daycare. Being a SAH parent is rare now so it’s lonely if you are one

Honestly if it’s harder to organise and be prepared for the help then I shouldn’t have to help the help if you get what I mean. It’s just easier if I do it myself.

I think it really depends on who is in your village. I’m having my first child this year and live over 12 hours away from my inlaws. My MIL is coming to stay with us for a month when I first give birth and I’m so excited to have her here! When I tell people this they freak out and say nooo I would hate that I want alone time with baby. Where as I know she’s coming to look after me and my partner and the house so we can focus on baby.

My mum was a serial popper inner and took us 3 kids with her to people’s places.. I’d be so mad if someone with 3 kids popped over unannounced lol

Actually, you don’t have to accept anything. I don’t have children but I am so respectful of my friends and families boundaries as an auntie even if I don’t agree with the methods. Also though, if I think something is harmful or would benefit my loved ones with an opinion, it’s respectfully delivered and understood by them. If they choose to listen cool, if not, it’s just an opinion, that’s up to them. The only people that think “no one wants a village” are the ones who aren’t welcome in the village…

I don't accept the messiness, it causes massive amount of problems for me when people think they can step in and ignore how things need to be done for my kids. as a parent of additional needs kids if you do not do things as the kids need it creates more issues for me it's not helpful and can actually cause things to go backwards as well. means I'm very isolated though because the grandparents refuse to even learn about their grandkids dignoses and what that means and what their behaviour plan/supports are needed to help them manage because they should just do better.

Danni :
I don't mind popping in unannounced. what I do mind is expecting me to wait on you hand and foot while I'm trying to breastfeed a newborn, wrangle a toddler, prepare dinner, fold washing and clean a house.

I have a child who is fructose malabsorption. No many people know how to feed him. For others it’s hard to care for him.
