They say it takes a village..

I need some insight from people in this situation or know someone who is.

You moved out of your home state and you found someone to settle down with. The person you’re with is from the state you moved to. You both don’t have any kids, so when having kids come into play, how do you operate with not having help (babysitting etc) from both families? Do you rely on new friends you met? Do you just spend more on outside help?

Sure you’ll have immediate accessible help from the family of the person you’re with. But I’m sure the missing help from your family back in your home state can make a difference. And obviously I’m referring to outside of when your family comes to visit etc.
