From "It Takes a Village" to Raising Children Alone (How rigid parenting may be contributing to parental burnout) | Episode 15

Remember when we had a village to support us in our parenting journey?

Do you, too, wonder how the tables have turned so that we are now shamed for wanting help from our kin, being told that "It's our child, so it's our responsibility?" and "You chose this."?

How did we go from "it takes a village to raise a child" to parenting in isolation?

Based on a post and its respective comments on Facebook, I discuss how societal and cultural shifts toward individualism have led to the near-extinction of our support systems and the community previous generations enjoyed as parents.

However, I also note how we, too, may have inadvertently pushed our village away, rejecting help and support even when it is offered, due to fear, generational trauma, rigid parenting, and egoism, thus leading to parental burnout.
