What a great article. I'll be linking it to my post if you don't mind. I have just moved to a small country town and have no family and friends around, so I've started building my village.

It isn’t always easy to build that village because the natural villages that used to exist have disappeared. In my opinion, if you don’t work at building that village, you will suffer over time. You need people you can turn to for adult conversation or to give yourself a break. Read more: It takes a village to raise a child.

I am exhausted but I cannot imagine doing this any other way. It bothers me a lot that no one in my family cares enough to come over or help care for my daughter. She is almost a year now and does not know anyone in the family because she rarely sees any of them. She has never had a baby sitter and I never get a full night's sleep. My hosue is never anywhere near clean and my daughter craves attention from others. Having no family is lonely and I feel guilty that she will grow up not having bigfamily gatherings or regular stopins from people who love her.
