I'm Providing For My Child By Being A Full-Time Mother
06/20/2017


Dr. Laura:

You are the only one, besides my mother, who makes me feel proud to be a stay-at-home mother.  I haven't worked since my first daughter was born 22 years ago.  

Everyone around me kept saying that I'm a natural photographer and that I should start a business.  At first, I felt terrible thinking that I wasn't providing financially for my family, but after listening to you, I realized that I WAS providing for my family by being a full-time mother.  

Now at fifty years of age, I'm reinventing myself a little.  My last child is in high school, and when school is in session, between Noon and 3, I work on my photography business.  I'm happy to have a chance to pursue my passion and still be my kids' mom to my teenager.  Being able to share their special moments with them for all these years has filled me with warmth and love.  Thank you for all your support for stay-at-home moms.
