CNN
We aren't meant to parent alone. Throughout most of human history, childrearing was a communal experience, as paid help and wider family networks -- called alloparenting -- helped raise kids. But today, many parents feel as though there is something wrong with them for not being able to do it all on their own.

Deviating from this norm denied our children what was promised to them by the slow march of time.
