Advantages of Staying At Home



Dr. Laura:

I started listening to you while I was a busy executive working mom with two young daughters in daycare and a surprise third daughter on the way.  I couldn't imagine how I would handle work and shuttling an infant and two grade school girls to daycare and school before going to work each day.  Then I heard you discuss the advantages of a mom staying at home.

That wasn't anything I was hearing anywhere else!  I thought I needed to work outside the home to be a complete person.  But I heard you, Dr. Laura, and you gave me the strength, backbone and heart to make the decision to quit my career and stay home to raise my girls.  It was the best decision I've ever made, other than choosing a wonderful husband who supported that decision.

My girls got full tuition academic scholarships to a private college.  I believe their love of academics is partially due to the support I was able to provide by being available to them each day in countless ways.  They all finished their education, and two got advanced degrees.  They waited for the right guys and I have three terrific sons-in-law who are strong partners to the bright, intelligent, loving wives they married.  

We are better people because of you, and as we start this new phase of our lives as empty nesters, I'll continue to be my husband's girlfriend, and my kids' mom.

Susan
