    My Mom used to work as a daycare provider, and she told me that she never, NEVER ever told parents about milestones, first steps, first words, or anything, because she knew that it would break their heart having missed it. She had four kids herself, she knew what it's like :-)

    The article was mainly about hardworking moms showing their support for each other, and it highlighted Serena's story because she is famous and it can be more easily verified and trusted.
