Email of the Day: I Didn’t Have to Make a Poor Choice

Written by Dr. Laura | 12/16/21 9:15 AM

Recently, I had a conversation with my husband about our finances. I’m a stay-at-home mom, and he’s facing a salary cut and I’m worried about making ends meet. As we were wrapping things up, I told him that if it got much tighter, I would start looking for a part-time job so we could get by. Before the words were out of my mouth, my husband corrected me. He told me “No.” He would find more overtime and we would simply cut back on non-essentials. He reminded me that I have a full-time “job” and no one could be hired to take my place.

 

Thank you, Dr. Laura, for helping me see the light. I got to spend the night grateful to have a real man who would do anything to take care of his family. I’m also thankful for the chance to build my man up instead of tearing him down.
