(thus my never locked door)... But seriously, it really is the way to go - so much healthier than our isolated, fear-based, cocoon living. Ah well... we do what we can - and you are ALWAYS invited over! I also agree with you on the way Xs change when a Y walks in the room! SO SAD!

I love running the home the everyday chores, and basic child herding, feeding , driving with my best girl friends. I try to invite other moms and and their kids over all the time. I used to live in a neighborhood where we all had the open door policy, We shared meals, baby sitting and organizing activities for the kids. It was very communal without the weirdness of a real commune. Then I moved to a more upscale neighborhood and got a nanny. Life has never been so lonely. I miss the village. yes it DOES take a village, and even our couple’s therapist said LAST WEEK something like ” any woman/mother would rather be room mates with her girlfriend than with her husband”.
