I have had a village, at times, and then none. And I’ve been the village. I looked after all my nieces and nephews, some so their parents could work and study. I had some relatives help me with my first baby, but was almost entirely alone for my second and third babies. Everyone has to work, so it’s hard to be a village. It’s hard to find a village, because life is too busy. It’s hard.
