My Twins' Love


Hi, Dr. Laura, 

I'm work-at-home mom of 2.5-year-old twins. I'm currently training for a half-marathon that's just over a month away, so I'm working out a lot, usually early in the morning before the kids get up. This time is my opportunity to listen to your podcast and prepare to take on my day. Having your voice in my ear helps me keep going through that last mile on the trail or that last set of reps on the machine. 

This morning, when I got home from my run, I helped my stay-at-home-dad husband put our kiddos in the car on their way to an adventure for the day.  One of the boys noticed my earphones. "What are those, Mama?" he asked, pointing at the cord as I buckled him into his car seat. "Those are my earphones, buddy," I told him. "For to listen to Dr. Laura, Mama?" he asked. "Yes, for listening to Dr. Laura," I said, surprised. "Good girl, Mommy," he told me. His brother nodded in approval. Apparently I've been more vocal to the kids about you than I had previously realized -- and apparently my toddlers appreciate your influence on their mom. 

Thanks for all you do! 

Warmly, 

Kristen age 32, listener since age 12
