We had a Pi Party the other day with Taylor's co-workers. Taylor has a post doc in his lab from China, Jong, who had his mother and wife in town visiting. They came to the party and Jong spent a lot of time translating for his mother and me. While we were talking she asked, "Does someone come to the house to help you w the kids?" To which I replied "No."
"In China we cannot do this", she said. "We have grandmas and aunts and mothers and mother in laws. We cannot take care of the children alone." *pause* "Who takes care of you?"
Good question. Haha. Multiple generations living together or near one another has some advantages. And I'm really missing out on all the free babysitting my younger sisters owe me.

Amen. Several friends and I have talked about the bonuses of polygamy. Other than sharing a husband. None of us are okay with that.
