I would like to say that I learned from researching the book about our history of cooperative caretaking.
And I started to ask for more help and really rely on my village more and embrace my evolutionary past as a cooperative caretaker.
But it's actually very hard.
It's hard to stop, you know, doing everything yourself, not everything myself.
It's hard to stop relying on myself rather than reaching out for help.
when I need it.
And that's something I'm always trying to do.
Now that I've written this book, I'm always thinking, it's only natural, it's only human for me to rely on a group and to ask my siblings and my parents and my in-laws to do things to help out our family.
You got to internalize it though.
I do.
I do have to internalize it.
And it's hard because I live in Western society and there's this idea that the mom is supposed to be the super mom and the parents are supposed to be this nuclear family unit raising the kids.
And when we look at our evolutionary past, that's really not what's natural for a human.
