I don't see the "It Takes a Village" concept as being in conflict with either of your ideas. It is unfortunate that you feel invisible as a stay at home mom. To me, it takes a village means offering your family some support for raising your special child, and supporting you during the crisis/transition when you had to quit your job when your Mom died.
You deserve a lot of credit for following through on your responsibilities.
I agree there are lots of people who need to be more focused on their responsibilities, on what is important. But I don't see this as conflicting with the idea that our society needs to invest more in its children.
