We don't have a village because no one has kids. The parents I know who are best supported are ones who have tons of siblings.

True. Those with large numbers of kids tend to have a family network of mutual support.

My parents had less kids due to circumstances (age + immigration). But they had so many siblings that they had so much help compared to my brother and I.

Luckily we both have three and we at least want more (they might be aging out... Maybe they'll have one more).

Kids are so much fine and they love each other too. It's amazing
