My reality has been that my husband and I worked opposite shifts for years to make ends meet, Netflix getting us through the hard times, and the only 'bestie' dropping off food was the Domino's pizza delivery guy.
In a culture hooked on buzzwords like “squad,” I’m sometimes left wondering if I’m the only one over here scratching my head. One phrase that really echoes in my brain in regards to child-rearing is, “It takes a village.”and was pregnant by 20. When most of my high school friends were focused on figuring themselves out in college, I was figuring out breastfeeding and completely zeroed in on this new baby in my arms. I, surprisingly, didn’t feel lonely during those young years on the narrow path.
Of course, I’ve asked for help from a select few in moments of need, but mostly it’s been me and my husband tag-teaming. I never thought much was unique about our set-up until social media added it to my list of things to feel inadequate about. I am so grateful for the friends I’ve met along my journey, whether they’ve stayed for a long time or briefly popped in and out. It’s healthy to find human connection, but I don’t necessarily think I’ve created a “village.” I don’t have a group of friends helping me with parenting, that’s for sure.
