Re: Obama doesn't want Moms staying home to raise their kids. Wants the state to do i
Yet, I'm willing to bet that there were plenty of other influences in your children's lives. That was the whole point. Did your children go to school? Then they had teachers that played a part in their raising. Did your children interact with your other relatives on any sort of basis? If so, then those relatives likely played at least a small part in their raising. Did they have friends, did you? They too could have had some part in their raising. Coaches, scout leaders, religious leaders, babysitters or others that your children are left with to be taught or cared for by had a part of in how your children were raised, even if it is going to be way less significant than yours and your husband's. Even the media and society as a whole plays a big part in how your children are raised, even if you limit greatly what they get to see in media.
"It takes a village". Now there is a quote that grated on my nerves when she said it, and after bringing up 3 kids into their teens (where they all are now), I know damn well that no village has raised my kids. My husband & I did.
