When I was a girl, I'd always stop at my friend's house with her stay-at-home mom and dream about the day I could make snacks for my kids and talk to them about their day. I have since told my friend's mom she was my role model.
Well, I made my dream come true. My two youngest graduated high school last week. I always took them to and from school even though other moms told me it was a waste of time and gas to do so. I also always had a snack for them when they got home. It was a nutrition decision as well because I had been overweight in school since all we ever had was convenience/junk food. I determined as a mommy, it was my job to have nutritious food in the house.
Dr. Laura, I didn't have a "mom" I had a person that gave birth to me and now after listening to you for many years, I realize she was a very selfish person that didn't seem to know how to be a mom. I have heard you say you have 2 chances at a mother/child relationship and I have awesome relationships with 2 of them and am working on the 3rd. I love my girls more than anything, thanks for keeping me on track.
