Maybe this is a hot take, and definitely over generalized, but I think the village is dead. There may have been a time when there was more of a community approach to parenting, and wisdom was passed from generation to generation. Access to information was much different as well. Now, we live in a very individualistic society. My kids, my parenting style, my life. It is very difficult to offer advice that is not explicitly asked for without it coming off as a critique of one’s parenting. Generally, I think when parents want advice or information, they seek it out on their own.
