It Takes a Village?

Dragon and little lion had their first experience with daycare last night. I hope that I am making the right decision, mommy guilt blows. They did very well, but when I picked them up they were both sitting on the floor sobbing their beautiful blue eyes out...it made me feel horrible, their big teary eyes. I feel almost selfish to put them in daycare so that I can train, but all monsters need to have a destructive outlet. Besides, the old saying "It takes a village to raise a child" probably has merit. I know that dragon will benefit from the socialization, the babies need to experience care other than monster mommy care. However, I have found that I am way too alpha to leave my pups with the villagers without keeping a close watch on the village. While I agree that it does indeed take a village to raise a child, this monster knows all too well the dangers that lurk in the depths of this twisted world. I am terrified that without their monster mommy's obsessive care my babies could be vulnerable. I need to get over that.
