I swear some of these bio parents have got to be the most clueless people I know.....

If it takes a village to raise a child, why do these bio parents (who have willing able healthy villages to help them) turn down help, pretend the help of the village is beyond their ability to engage with, act as if they have no resources disposable to them but instead allow their wounded egos to control their maladaptive behavior that they then push onto the step kids?
