I've wanted to write to you for some time, but I'm just getting around to it now that my kids are finally in college. I was raised in a very liberal family and I worked right up until the time my first child was born (I was literally at work when I went into labor). I assumed I would go back to work soon after my son was born, but everything changed in those first few weeks. I instinctively knew my son needed me, and even though there was pressure from all sides to go back to work, including from my husband and his family, I held out. I wish I would have know about you then. I felt like I was the only one in the world making this decision (twenty-some years ago). More >>

I live in Southern California and have been listening to your program for about 3 years now. I can say that your program truly helped me understand my priority in life. I've been married for about 10 years and about 22 months ago was blessed with a beautiful daughter. Sadly, when my daughter was 3 months old, we decided to put her in a day care. Since the day care was closer to my work, I'm the one who has to drop her off at 8am and pick her up at 5pm. More >>

Let me tell you a day care experience.  My daughter, a single mom, lives in a northern state Her children were in a large day care - one of those in a shopping center the front looks pretty good on the surface. On a visit, I went to the day care to pick up my grandchildren. It was summer and about 90' ..I More >>

This past May, some punks who live in our neighborhood decided to break into our home. I surprised them by coming home early from our kindergartener's closing ceremony. Of course, I called the police and wanted to press charges. Shockingly, the 3 sets of idiots they have for parents were horrified! More >>

Here's another offering for the "Stop Being a Victim" book I hope you'll write: One reason we keep on being victims is because, coming out of a brutal childhood, we fear ANGER. We lived in households full of rage and were daily targets of it. We end up feeling that anger destroys; it can wreck the world. Because it DID. I grew up determined I never wanted to hurt anyone else, the way my mother's alcoholic rages had affected me. And I thought that meant never expressing anger. More >>

My thinking has come full circle, and I give you all the credit. I had always been a stay at home mom, for many of the reasons you discuss every day. I've listened to you for over 20 years, and needed you to keep me strong while I cleaned up puke and poop. My boys entered the 5th and 10th grades this fall, so thinking "wow, this is great" started substitute teaching. When I worked I felt really proud of myself for being a super mom. More >>

I don't know or care how much it costs, but I will start my SiriusXM subscription today because I need to hear more of what you are saying. It's not new stuff -  I say the same stuff. I just need to hear I am not alone in thinking or feeling about the world. More >>

I just heard the call from the girl who was tired of being picked on because she was short. I am not too short (5'4), but my husband and my kids are. My kids have never been picked on (at least not for long,) because early on, they knew all of the advantages that come with being short. For instance: More >>

Today we had a debate on day care for our speech class (for college) and I was the lead speaker for the side that argues against day care (it was 2 guys, versus 3 girls who supported day care). It was one hour long, and I must say I almost wanted to vomit upon hearing the other debaters. Their reasons for supporting day care were nothing more than "I, ME, and MINE." More >>
