Your Perspective Makes Total Sense
08/25/2016


Dr. Laura:

I know you get a bunch of "thank yous" every day on your show, but this one is from my two boys.  Though they are too young to realize it, the wisdom you've shared and I have listened to over the past 15 years has brought a great life for them.  My wife is a stay-at-home mom, and the boys have never seen the inside of a pre-school.  This was not without its challenges, as my wife was a pre-school teacher when we dated, and I ran two companies.  I planned on having a full-time nanny when we had kids, because that's what everyone in our social circle did to sustain their lifestyle.  

It took me two years to realize your perspective made total sense.  Everyone we knew thought we were crazy and thought pre-school was in the best interest of the kids and not going would damage them.  They made us feel like unfit parents.  But we stayed with our decision.  Our boys have been loved so much by us and we spend a lot of time together making great memories, thanks to you sharing your wisdom on life and family.  

Thank you for helping me make my life and that of my family truly awesome.

Love always,

Tom
