Kids Need Their Mom
08/05/2016


I have been listening to you for over 20 years and always knew my first responsibility after having children is to be there to raise them. I had been thinking about getting a part time job, just to have a little more fun money for the family.

My son saw me circle a job in the paper and asked me what I was doing. I then expected that if I got a little job he would get more birthday presents and Christmas presents. He immediately started crying and tore up the paper. I then heard the words I'll never forget....

"I don't want more stuff, I want you mom!"
Dr. Laura taught me!
