'At the beginning everyone was super happy to help out and be the village': New mother complains no one will help with her baby, discovers her actions drove everyone away

There are a lot of differing opinions on how to raise a child and be a good parent. However, as a parent, it can be tough to balance work, household chores, and taking care of your kids, let alone finding time for yourself. It can be nice to have some help from others here and there. But help can be hard to find as some people believe that you are solely responsible for your children's upbringing if you choose to have them.

On the other hand, some people believe in the saying, "it takes a village to raise a child." While this can be an ideal situation for many parents, it is not realistic to expect others to drop everything and help you raise your child. Everyone has their own lives to live. However, in this particular story below, the mother was fortunate enough to actually have a village that was willing to help her parent. Unfortunately, she blew it.
