For the record, I do not "choose" to work instead of staying home and raising my baby! Right now I do not have the choice to stay home or I would IN A HEARTBEAT! You have no right to judge me or my parenting skills. You do not know our situation!
I cannot believe I am even taking the time to write this post and defend myself...
Next time you want to leave a comment get some balls and at least post your name otherwise keep the comments to yourself.
Thanks

You abviously Are choosing to let someone else raise your baby.I think for the majority of people who think they "Need" to work, the real reason is they need to work to support the lifestyle that they have created.There are circumstances that I understand would make it difficult, such as being a single mom, but when you are married and decide to have children, shouldn't you be able to actually take care of them?I think we have a whole generation of men that don't understand what taking care of a family means.Maybe I'm the last of my kind in my 30's that feels like a woman should be home to take care of her kids and her husband.That a HUSBAND and FATHER should do whatever it takes to let the mother of his children actually be able to stay at home and raise those babies..I find it sad that so many people think it's OK to send their kids off to daycare and make excuses as to why they just can't quit their jobs.There is always a way..you just have to make it happen.
Courtney -
I think whatever your reasons for going back to work, personal, financial or a combination of both, are YOUR business and no one else's. For anyone else to try and understand YOUR life and YOUR decisions is just judgmental and inappropriate. Seems to me that you are a GREAT mommy who loves her sweet baby boy very much and I applaud you for that. Whether you are home with him all day every day or not, he is very obviously thriving which means you and your husband are excellent parents. God bless you, your family and this poor anonymous person who, for some unfortunate reason, has an ugly heart.
WOW - I have to say that I can not believe anyone would ridicule anyone else on how they are able to raise their family. Again, commenter - you are posting anonymously which means you are too ashamed to show your identity. I can not believe you would have the audacity to speak such rude opinions to anyone to may not have the means to afford being able to live off of ONE income.
Have you ever thought that on top of the what it costs to raise a family, that maybe some families have extremely high medical bills that need to be paid off? Has it occured to you that not everyone is healthy and may need extensive EXPENSIVE medical attention? Maybe school loans need to paid off. It's not about "supporting the lifestyle that they have created." SHAME ON YOU! You don't know this woman's story, why are you pretending to know anything about her? I think many women would like to stay home with their children if they had the choice, but you must be the ONLY family who has NOT been affected by today's economy. Some families have lost 1/2 of their monthly income due to job loses and salary cuts... some families have lost all their lives savings! How can you say that anyone who is sending their children to daycare is only doing it by CHOICE? You may have your own opinions on how to raise your family but that does not give you the right to point your fingers at other people. My, how easy it is to make such judgmental comments when you are hiding behind a mask and typing on a computer.
Courtney, please don't give negativity like this a second thought. You are providing for your family so that there is food on the table and a roof over their heads. You love your son just as much as any other mother loves their child. It's horrible to see that some anonymous people feel they were given the position to down grade and judge other people.
Courtney, I wrote the previous post - but I was logged in under a different profile that I have not completed yet... just you know :)
Courtney - think about making your blog private. That way only the people that care about you and your family can leave comments. Seems to me like this person has a little too much time on their hands. I'm sorry that people can say hurtful things, you are a great mom!
Dear "anonymous"-you are obviously stuck in the 1950's and do not know what it is like to live in the real world. This mother is one of the most beautiful intelligent thoughtful mothers I have ever known and I have known her for her entire life. So get over yourself and find something better to do other than stalk strangers, you freaking weirdo! On another note, I love Court dont let this crap get you down. XOXO
anonymous, how can you sit there a judge people that you don't know and you don't there situation. Many mom's work, like i do. Just because we work doesn't mean our childern are less loved or doesn't get attention. It us working mother's who educate your children, sale clothing for your childern to wear, etc. So how can you judge us working mothers????
courtney keep doing what you do best and that's being BOSTONS mom:)
by the way out painting looks awesome in the gameroom
Oh my gosh?!! I know she didn't!
What year is it? Oh wait, it's 2009 not 1950!! Hello?!! Am I missing something here?
Courtney, ignore her, she obviously likes to comment to get a rise out of people. You are a WONDERFUL mom who is educated and a GREAT role model for your children, and I know deep down you know this is complete nonsense for someone to come out of nowhere to judge you. Keep your head up! You are doing the right thing for your family. Love you!!
Courtney,
I love keeping up with your blog and I'm so sorry that someone posted something like that! If you decide to go private, please let me continue to keep up with you and sweet Boston! I'm thinking about you and please don't even give that meanie another thought. It's not their business how you and your family decide what is best, Boston is obviously happy and healthy, and you can tell from looking at that sweet boy.
