Today marks another milestone, however, I wish it was delayed.

.
Rather than just driving to the Tribune today (April 30), Vincent and I will make a pit stop at day care.

He'll get out and I'll continue on.

It won't be like his trial runs where I would pick him up after a couple of hours and we would take off on our afternoon walk.

Instead, Vincent will be staying until Mike picks him up after work.

I'm not looking forward to it, bit I'm sure everthing will work out fine.

He has friends there and lots to do, including a bouncy seat that looks fit for a king.

Besides, I always have the noon hour and he isn't far away ...
.
 Tell us what you think...

" RUDE!! You should be ashamed of what you just wrote! It is no persons place to judge others. I know several children being raised by single mothers who are having a better upbringing than some 2 parent households. Some people have circumstances that arise in their lives where being a single parent is the only option at making their dreams come true. Don't stomp on their dreams, just because they are untraditional. It is 2007 after all. "

" This is to re:single mother, the comment below: How dare you judge me! And how dare you say something so crude and degrading! you dont know my situation. If everyone waited to have children until they could absolutely afford it, most couples would never have children! "

" There was another choice you could have made, you could have kept your legs crossed. People should only have children when they can afford them. "

" Is Ms Grooms a single mom? That's another subject entirely!! If she's got a partner, then either the Tribune pays her a lot or her daycare isn't expensive. "

" My kids are in high school now, both smart, confident, happy, well adjusted young adults. They started in day care at the age of 2 months and I never regretted my decision to go back to work. Good luck and make the most of the time that you do spend with your child, whether it be all day long or nights and weekends. Every moment is special. "

" THIS is to "stay home": Some of us don't have the luxury of being able to afford to stay home. What are single mothers with one income suposed to do? I can't afford to stay home with my toddler and not work. "

" I think that when these blogs start becoming vindictive and mean, such as the ones below...the tribune should stop blogging. There are no positive comments and the same people will be responding negatively. It is not worth it. "

" While I believe that there are advantages and disadvantages to daycare, you have to do what feels right for you. You will get enough advise from well meaning people in the next few years. Go with what feels right for you. Good luck. "

" Get over yourself. There's nothing wrong with daycare and/or preschool. I loved every second of my daycare and preschool. The games, the friends, the songs.. it was great! Quit acting like a stuck up snot and get your head outta where the sun doesn't shine. "

" It will never be easy but it does get easier. As long as you feel comfortable with your day care and you feel like they become part of your family you will do fine. If you don't feel comfortable with your day care your work life will become miserable so the key is to find the right person to watch your baby. You are the parent, if something feels wrong go with your gut. Good luck on going back to work. "

" Isn't he just a couple months old? How does someone his age have "friends" at daycare? He just needs Mom or Dad. "
