How one family is normalizing asking for help in the absence of a village FamilySupport CommunityMatters SupportSystem
after school for your children because you didn’t have time to get dinner on the table. A safe place where everyone had a role in collectively child rearing and growing together.
With both of our families living plane rides away, we knew we needed help so that we could continue to show up in the best way possible for our kids, allowing us to strike a balance between being able to work and build our businesses while raising our family and maintaining our relationship with each other. Yes, date nights are a necessity in our world.At first, I had a hard time giving up control and giving in to receiving help.
But then it hit me; it was quite the opposite; if I refused help, that’s when I would be less of a mom, less of a wife, and less of a business owner. I would be torn in so many directions; I wouldn’t be helpful to anyone. By receiving help, I show up for my kids as my very best self. I ask for help where I need it, and I share with others that I have support because, as moms, we need to give ourselves a break. Oh, and by the way, “Suzy down the street” also had help, but I didn’t know about it because she was too afraid to share over fear of also being judged.Help can come in so many ways; it can be a friend you carpool with to school or do weekly play dates with, parents that come over and help or take your kids for sleepovers.
