'This is how you bring the village back': Mum explains why she's embracing a '90s style of parenting
We've all heard it before, it takes a village to raise a child, but that village doesn't just rock up the day you bring home your first baby.
Instead, you've got to build that village and one mum has come up with a great way to do it.
"Bringing back the village by acting like a mum in the '90s because we were made for community," read the text on the TikTok.

A mum is embracing a '90s style of parenting to help build her village and shared it on TikTok. tiktok
The idea is simple: have people over regardless of the state of your house, forget about being overly-organised and just do it.
"OK, I did it again, and it's crazy. I know, I spontaneously invited someone over for dinner, even though I have not prepared. I have not cleaned. This is how we bring the village back," Casie said in the video.
"You just let people into your disaster."
Casie said she's not going to panic clean anymore before people come over or stress out about the house being untidy, instead just embracing the chaos.

"So other than like picking up this spoon that has been on my dog's bed since this morning, I'm not gonna clean. I'm totally not gonna clean. We're gonna chitchat inside while they play outside, and we're just gonna have an easy spaghetti supper. No fanciness. It's gonna be on paper plates," she continued.
She panned the camera around her living room and said she won't be folding the blankets or cleaning up the table.
"I know some of you have friends that you can do this with, but I'm just saying if you don't have friends that you can do this with yet, just start inviting people over like randomly. And this is how you bring the village back," she said.

"It's my FAVOURITE thing to walk into a lived in home. Love it," replied one person.
Another mum commented, "My best friend and I do this and end up helping each other clean or hang laundry while kids play. Or we sit and watch a show depends on the day."
"Yes, this is how I made my best mum friends," commented another woman.
"But it's so scary," replied one mum.
Casie commented, "OMGOSH IS IT SCARY!!! The fear judgment is so real. But then they're not your people!"
One woman summed it up with her comment, "So true! I think younger moms worry too much, I blame Pinterest."
