Why Don’t Our Parents Want to Be the Village for Our Kids?

Have you ever noticed that the generation who grew up surrounded by a supportive village seems hesitant to be that village for us? I remember my mom sharing stories about neighbors dropping by, aunts and uncles always around, and how everyone pitched in with raising kids. But now, when I ask for help or suggest more family get-togethers, it feels like I’m asking for too much. It’s confusing and sometimes a little lonely, especially when I want my kids to experience that same sense of community. Has anyone else felt this shift? I’d love to hear your thoughts or stories about building your own village. Let’s talk in the comments! #ParentingCommunity #ModernParenting #FamilySupport #Parenting
