I would like to thank you for your encouragement towards moms to stay at home. Ever since 2nd grade I have been listening to you with my mom, and now I am heading off to college. My mom has always been at home for my 3 older siblings and me, her baby.

...My family includes 5 children, including a severely mentally handicapped 12 year old, and our new addition, a 2 year old (very active!) son. About a year ago, I decided I was done being everything to everyone.

I was raised with a very colorful past...from abusive parents, foster care and finally a guardianship. As I was raised by no stay at home moms, I felt a lot of guilt about wanting and yearning to be one.

I just wanted to write to you a heartwarming moment I just experienced with my 23-month old son. I was getting him ready for his nap, and needed to put on "stretchy" legging-type pants so he would be comfortable.

We found out the Friday before Father's Day that my husband is losing his job as of July 1. Obviously, I could not spend any money on a gift for him. I did get a roast (on sale!) and made him a yummy dinner.

I am a SAHM to my nine month old twin boys, however this week I volunteered at a church for camp. I don't know how working moms do it because by being gone for the 3-4 hours each day our lives have been more chaotic.

Its been exactly 8 months and 11 days since I quit my job to be at home with my son! I've emailed you twice in the past. First about "Kissing My Baby's Face Off" and second when I informed you I FINALLY quit that stressful job and yanked my then 9 month old son out of daycare to stay home with him!

When I was 19 years old I had my daughter. I was young, un-wed, and very immature. Her father and I knew each other all of 3 months before I was pregnant and when I told him "we" - which really meant "I" were pregnant and by the grace of God he stuck around.

I...heard you talking to a woman who was feeling remorseful because she wasn't allowing her mother to be around her son after her mother threatened to have her (the caller's) little boy taken away because his mother wanted to wean him.
