Actually we lived with our own parents until we moved into our apartment together. We didn't ask them to help us. In fact, they never came to our apartment to visit, we went home to visit them. But leaving to raise a kid isn't hard to just as parents has done for millions of years before someone decided to write a book. No one can tell you how to raise your kid because every kid is different and has to be treated according to their own individual personality which the only person who can figure that out is the person that spends the most time with them. Do you really think that all the millions of kids who had and have parents that don't take classes nor read book are dumb? They ran the world millions of years without killing their kids. And no, it doesn't take a village to raise a kid and most parents I know wouldn't let the village near their kids. We have never asked our friends nor family members or anyone else their (OPINION) on what we needed to do for our kids. I mean really, what do you think happened for millions of years with the millions of people who were raised before someone wrote a book to tell you what to do?
