"You know it doesn't really take a village, right? Like, we all understand that at this point, right? That's just old bitter toxic women trying to force their way into your life telling you it takes a village. It doesn't. It takes a lot of sacrifice. And if you want a village, just know it doesn't have to be blood-related."
"In the beginning, I was under the impression that I was supposed to have a village. So, I just tried to follow what everybody told me was supposed to happen. And those people created more stress than just us raising these children ourselves."
"Mind you we have three kids, eight, seven, six, all in different sports, school activities, all of that. And it's easier for us to do it alone than have that blood village come help. Because that blood village comes with stipulations."
"I would rather not have that blood village, create my own little village of friends that I can rely on to help pick up my kids or watch my kids for a little bit or call in case I need help."
