My village is small but mighty. It includes my kids' best friends' parents. It includes my bff that lives across the country. It includes PTO moms and Cub Scout moms and classmates' moms.
We watch each other's kids on short notice and on snow days. We give each other rides if needed. We vent and brag. We have S'mores and movie nights and wine. We make sure each other's kid isn't crying when he/she gets off the bus. We give each other preteen and middle school advice.
We check on each other. We make each other brownies and share books. We buy from each other's kids' fundraisers and make our own Scout den.
We parent each other's kids as if they were our own. They get hugs and "you know better" looks. They are loved by many.
Life is more fulfilling with a Village. Who's in yours?
