Where is My Village?

There’s an old saying that almost everyone has heard at one point or another, “It takes a village to raise a child.”

What that means is what you and I already know – it’s not easy to raise a child on your own, and I dare say that few people would choose to do it alone if they had the choice of having a present and available partner.

But even with a present and available partner, it still takes a village. That’s where grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, neighbors, and friends from work, church, school, and the community come in.

To help support parents in getting it all done. To help fill in the gaps. And even to help relieve parents when they need a break.

The village is essential. The village cares about you and your child or family and wants to see you succeed, so the village does what it can to help. And almost every parent – whether single or partnered – has some type of village.

But… where is our village as single, childfree women? Who supports us? Who steps in to help ensure that we succeed?

Tune in for my perspective on why we ALL need and deserve a village, regardless of our marital or family status.
