"It takes a village to raise a child."
This quote has been around ever since I can remember. However within the past year this quote has become very meaningful to me. I am single parent of three and live in a city where I have no family. I am very independent and sometimes don't like asking for help. But I have had to set my pride aside and say "I need help." I have been fortunate enough to have some special people in my life who have opened up their hearts and homes to my children and I. I am forever grateful and thankful to have them in my life.
On the other hand I have noticed that this quote has been disregarded by some. Often times you cannot correct another person's child without the parent being apprehensive. It may not even be that serious but because you are not the parent you are not to say anything. How do you all feel about this?
Carla, I agree. It does "takes a village to raise a child". We can't do it alone. I have 5 of my own, and I am grateful for ALL the help I can get!!
