Hello fellow parents and caregivers of children!

There are a bunch of new parents here (raises hand) and there are plenty of veteran parents, as well as people who have experience caring or helping to care for children, like teachers, baby-sitters, aunts, and uncles. Coming together will help all of us, whether we need advice, commiseration, or just a space to let it out. Being a caregiver of small humans can be hard, but also rewarding and wonderful, so we can also share in the joys of watching little humans get to be big humans.

Suggested topic: help vs going it alone

Most of us have help with parenting, whether it’s teachers, babysitters, grandparents, nannies, daycare, or our partners. And sometimes that help is unavailable. Spouse is out of town, school is closed, babysitter is sick with the flu.

How much help do you have, and how do you manage when it’s not there?
