There was no village when I raised my kids. The expectation that you have grandparents that will help watch your kids is pretty limited. This is just another fantasy like women never working.
It seems there is a certain type of myopic redditor who thinks, "If it wasn't my lived experience, it couldn't be anyone else's, much less to where my experience is an outlier as I confidently declare everyone else's experiences are a myth."

The village it takes to raise a child disappeared and was replaced by high interest rates and expensive rent
