Summary: Such an inspiration to all mothers!!
Comment: Because of finances, I had been second guessing my choice to stay at home with my two children since the beginning of the year. After reading this book it made me feel like my job as a mother is the most important job there is and will ever be! It has boosted my confidence and self esteem and made me a better mother to my children. Thank you Dr. Laura! I wish there were more people like you out there - supporting the significance of motherhood in a society concerned with material things. No, we don't have cable, and none of us can buy new clothes (we shop consignment or clearance racks), but it doesn't bother me anymore. For right now, while they are small, I feel like this is the best decision I could have made.

Summary: Read, Think & Consider
Comment: I would like to state that I do not agree with all Dr. Schlessinger has to say. BUT on this issue I do agree that too many parents these days place convienence and material wealth over the welfare of children. She does not condem those parents that must work literally to put food on the table, or a roof over a family's heads. Rather, it is a condemnation of personal greed, an attack on the ever increasing need to "keep up with the Joneses." I have been on both sides of the issue as a mother of two. If you are not able to put a career on hold, to not drive the newest car or plan a budget so tight it nearly strangles you - then you will find this book EXTREMELY uncomfortable/annoying/offensive/disturbing - pick your adjective. Personally I am not condeming families where both parents choose to work and use daycare/nannies, etc. I only ask that they truly consider their choices regarding their children, and this book can really help raise the issues parents need to consider. Read it with a grain of salt and an open mind. Believe me, I CAN'T WAIT till my youngest is off to school so I can go back to work during the day!!!

Summary: bravo for Laura for sticking up for the little ones
Comment: If you are a mom that works outside the home, you probably won't like this book. Dr. Laura just tells it like it is and I'm sure alot of people find it offensive. I think it is refreshing to hear someone who sticks up for our children (it should be us-their parents.) As a physician, I see too many people who put there own selfish needs ahead of their kids. If you don't want to raise them, don't have them. Good advice.
