I had the good fortune of being raised by not just one excellent mother but also an entire community of them. And I’d have to say I’m the better for it
I remember when Hillary Clinton's book It Takes a Village came out several years back, the accompanying uproar from conservatives was deafening. Many people saw it as a communal manifesto for socialism—where society takes over raising our children and we give up our parental power.
I have to confess that I've never read her book. I might have been too busy raising my kids to read about all the people it takes to raise kids.
