My, how things have changed! The article below was reprinted from our local newspaper's 1940 archives would enrage most people today, but I found it refreshing. It's nice to know that once upon a time people viewed homemaking as a full-time job and mothering their children a necessity and "service to society". Back then, they were confused by the thought of a wife and mother with a full-time job at home wanting to pursue another full-time job outside of the home. And unfortunately, now it has become the norm. 

Now I'm the one people look at and scratch their heads wondering how I can be "just" stay-at-home mom. It's very sad. Keep up the good work, Dr. Laura. You are making a difference. 

Respectfully,
