@ClaireLiz4Life as the saying goes, it takes a village to raise a child. raising children should be a collaborative effort, which would require some people to be child free to do so, but it would be better for the children! :) https://t.co/w42bX7SJM6

“it takes a village to raise a child” originates from an African proverb and conveys the message that it takes many people (“the village”) for child rearing https://t.co/QQNZ06FktT

@trequor_ @notjameson @credenzaclear2 Village family is a family structure formed between those in your relative proximity. In the carribean for example, they were quite prominent because people had to stay put. https://t.co/syoeGQyfxT
