Because of You

Hi Dr. Laura!

Because of you, I'm now home with my 2 year old daughter, and enjoying every second of it.  When she was born, I dreaded returning to work.  My husband had always supported me staying home, but I had grown up with the belief that women HAD to work. Eventually, I left my full-time job for a part-time one with the thought that it would make me happy.  It didn't.  I knew what I really wanted was to spend every day with my daughter.

After listening to your show repeatedly and reading "In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms," I found the courage to go against what felt wrong to me, and quit working.  Now I get to see my daughter discovering, learning, and growing, and I get to be there for everything.  It amazes me that every day she seems to say at least five new words, and I'm there for every milestone.  My daughter is happy.  Even though I'm not the best cook, my husband appreciates my efforts, and he's happier coming home to a home-cooked meal.  And on top of all that, I'M the happiest I've ever been.  Thank you for consistently supporting stay-at-home moms.  You've changed my life and I'm eternally grateful.

Bonnie
