Dear Dr. Laura:
I fell in love with each of my kids as they were born. When my first was about eight months old, I took a part-time job as a hostess at a restaurant, from 10AM to 2PM. We didn't need the money, but I was being pressured by my mom to go back to work.
A few months into my job, my son got sick, and the babysitter took him to the doctor for me. When I picked him up later that day, she told me what was wrong and the medication he needed to take. I went home crying that the babysitter was the one who took him to the doctor, and not me.
After that, my husband said that I needed to quit my job and that he didn't want anyone but me raising our kids. It was the best day of my life. He has done everything in his power - even taking on three jobs --so that I could stay home. Now two of my kids are in college and the last one is in high school. It was worth every minute and every sacrifice we had to make.
