[QUOTE="witzend, post: 630943, member: 99"] Hmmm... interesting. My mom didn't work when most of her grandchildren were born, and lived in the same city as her 3 daughters, but I never would have even thought of her going to help after the baby was born. My impression was that "it's yours, and if you don't have enough help to take care of it you shouldn't have had it." It's kind of weird considering that her mother was (I think) living with my parents and helping raise my 4 brothers and sisters up until she died in a car accident when my mother was pregnant with me. My mom didn't even know how to drive until after my grandmother died and only then learned under much protest. I guess that gets into how little people seem go from burg to burg unless it is for work. When I grew up I took the bus everywhere, and so did my siblings. They learned to drive at 16 but I didn't until I was 25. I live about 12 miles from the nearest big city and I swear to goodness there is a general consensus that many people from my town will never in their lives make that 12 mile trip and many don't even know how to get there.
