"It takes a village to raise a child" reflects an idealized belief that community support is essential for parenting, yet modern parents resist this concept, prioritizing busy lives over building connections.
Despite the known benefits of community, many modern parents reveal through their actions that they prioritize their nuclear family and personal pursuits, neglecting the 'village' opportunity for support.
The increased emphasis on spending time with children means modern parents are less inclined to foster community relationships, driving home the irony of wanting support while avoiding it.
Commencing a family often brings the conscious realization that without close relatives nearby, parents must seek help from neighbors or friends, yet often feel 'too busy' to do so.
