"It Takes A Village To Raise A Family"
This quote became important to me once I gave birth to my beautiful son on December 20, 2010. Prior to the birth of my son I would hear this quote often on family television shows, from older adults, in parenting books and magazines. I always understood the implication of the quote but I can't say I truley agreed with the meaning. On that day in which my son was born I understood that my village consist of my direct family members, and their support is needed to raise my son into a man who is motivated, respectful, and independant. "It Takes A Village To Raise A Family" created a more important meaning for me on that day!!!!!
Hi, Tinisha!
ReplyDeleteI have a son who was born on December 16th of 2010! They are only 4 days apart!! :) What a wonderful age we're coming up on... our little guy is pulling up on everything and trying to be brave by letting go!! I think we'll be in the ER with this one as he grows!! :)
And I agree with this statement too, as our family and friends help and support us as parents as we raise our three! I can't imagine trying to do it without the support of our village!! I'd go crazy!!
Congrats on your little guy! Enjoy every minute!
