Dr. Laura Schlessinger: Stay at Home Moms - CBN.com

[naomithecandlegirl]

She is a great Dr! Her insight is very helpful and I'm glad she's bold enough to speak about it! You ROCK Laura! Keep up the great, good, work :)

[ladyEulaelie]

What is wrong with a woman who has lived it, done it all and is honest with herself to say that her past was a learning experience she would like to share with others? Can someone please tell me?

The only problem I see here are a bunch of catty bitches who simply dislike Dr. Laura, who is unapologetic about her opinions. Don't like it? Don't listen. 

[jacknuts22]

This woman is a liar and a whore.

[295Green]

Idk if everything being said about her past is true ,but if so then she just has experience and has MORE insight into these topics. You have a different perspective when you have lived what you speak about. If i want to know about being homeless im not going to ask a politician, im going to ask a homeless person.

[starstuff]

This hateful dude is a relic of this country. In 20 years I hope we can all look back on the time when these retards got airtime. Pardon me, that's an insult to retards. They have far more intelligence than these melon heads.

[ashatbulaparanormal]

I can honestly say that I don't like this woman,she has turned her back on all women and become one sided.I'm a working mom,her remarks makes me out to be a bad mother cause I choose to put a roof over my kid's heads,food in their stomach and cloths on their backs and pay for a good education.Why am I such a bad mother?why, because I didn't stay at home with my kids? I love my kids just like any stay at home mom does.I don't belittle stay at home moms,so why belittle me for working.

[HowardSternn]

Ms Laura is just another Right-Wing hypocrite

[lbomya]

As a stay at home mother who has raised 2 sons now 20 and 25 years old, ask them if it was important that I was home with them. Thank God for voices like Dr. Laura who is willing to stand up for moms like me. I got really tired in the 80's and 90's of the question from "working" moms saying to me...."so what do YOU do all day?"  Idiots!!!

[13SuperKings]

@lbomya I am 24 years old and my mom stayed at home for me until I was 8 years old it was great. Thank you for being their for your children and putting them first.

[lbomya]

@13SuperKings Thank you so much for saying so!! :)

[13SuperKings]

@lbomya Well I go to school with young woman who think they are going to work 80 hours a week and be a ful time mom.

[BoredMutha]

It sounds like she has alot of great ideas, I agree with alot of what she said...My Aunt is degreded by her family alot for being a stay at home mom, and I do too...I must say, I have the most intellegent toddler I have ever met...ever! Why is this lady a cunt? What a horrible word, you must be a terrible parent...A crumby past only makes you more informed, and more worldly...As long as she is reformed, then I give her a ton of respect...

[thegirlish]

@BoredMutha I agree. As someone who works with young people I can honestly say that a parent who spends time with their child reaps the rewards as the child becomes a member of society. Though, I do wish our government did more to support the stay at home mother.

[BoredMutha]

It sounds like she has alot of great ideas, I agree with alot of what she said...My Aunt is degreded by her family alot for being a stay at home mom, and I do too...I must say, I have the most intellegent toddler I have ever met...ever!

[joyfulbradley]

Ladylike, if you don't listen to Dr. Laura, how can you make this judgment?

[nocoercion]

She is awful.

[ToxicOdiousOne]

A woman love for her children replaced with the State. Lol.

[Jibjub80]

Schlessinger is a TWAT. And man does she ever look UGLY at 1.40.

[ladylike1980]

Hypocrite. Dr. Laura is best pals with Sarah Palin. A woman who went back to work days after popping him out!!!! Google Dr. Laura. Select images. You will see Dr. Laura on the floor, completely spread eagle, proudly showing off her crotch. And she was in her mid twenties and married to a dentist, yet screwing some guy she met, and he took pictures of her in their hotel room. She also broke up her 2nd husbands marriage. He was married w/three kids. She got pregnant and he married her.

[ranmae57]

@ladylike1980 u mean this bitch is a whore?

[ladylike1980]

@ranmae57

LOL - Yes. Dr. Laura is the biggest whore there is. Not only is she a whore, she's a cheap whore who posed for porn in a hotel room, while married to a dentist. First, she lied about posing for porn, saying it wasn't her, but she owned the pictures, and wanted them back, so they wouldn't hit the internet. The judge dismissed her claim. Her listeners have got to be the dumbest people alive.

She's a lying whore. Her own mother was dead for 2 months before being found alone.

[tantan1415]

@ladylike1980 I believe her life story would make a great movie. Talk about Drama and deception... Whew. This woman has no right telling people how to live their lives.

[BRYAN351]

@ladylike1980, even if everything you claim about her is true, it doesn't make the common sense logic that she exposes on her show any less true.

Why is it acceptable to respect the advice of a drug addiction counselor who is a reformed drug addict, but not respect the advice of a radio show host who once did the stupid, irresponsible, self-destructive things that she advises against doing? Maybe, because her advice strikes a nerve with so many people?

[ladylike1980]

@BRYAN351

If Dr. Laura's logic was common sense, she would have followed it herself. No one whines or makes excuses for her own behavior as much as Dr. Laura. Who needs to be told not to do pornography? Have affairs with married men?  Break up families? Shack up with married lovers? Get pregnant out of wedlock? I don't listen to Dr. Laura, but she's done all of the above and I've done none of the above. I don't get on a soap box, and talk down to people like Dr. Laura. She's a joke.

[BRYAN351]

@ladylike1980, if you never listen to her show, then you can't possibly have an informed opinion about her show. Regardless of her past, her logic and advice are solid. Give it a listen and see for yourself.

[gillieman760]

@ladylike1980 everyone makes mistakes,and has things in his/hers past that are less than stellar. learning from mistakes is called experience. if you make no mistakes you're not human.

[invinciblesummer76]

@ladylike1980 In defense of Dr. Laura, everyone has made mistakes in their 20s. I'm not perfect, so why would I expect her to be? I don't think that it makes her a 'hypocrite'. It means that she's learned from her mistakes and is trying to teach people a new way, based in her tumultuous past. I don't fault her.

[ZarahLean]

"Dr" (as fake as Dr Goebbals) Laura: You are ugly inside and out just like Pat Robertson. A bigot. But don't ask any gay beauty consulatants to help you after your homophobic and racist rants, try a beauty parlor for Orthodox Jews

[MadamTechy]

@siankane your comments are interesting ... so many think you are on the money correct.

[mstngslly]

What about STAY AT HOME DAD's?

Fuck this sexist nonsense.

Women that want to be stay at home moms only want to be lazy & not do anything except live off their husbands money while staying at home to watch soaps & eat bon bons all day.

Yeah I think I want a more fullfilled life than that regardless if I have a vagina or not.

[BRYAN351]

@mstngslly, if a stay-at-home mom is raising her kid(s) properly, and caring for her husband and household properly, then she doesn't have time to sit around all day and watch TV.

I'm a 42yo male, and my mom was a stay-at-home mom, which is partly why I (and to a lesser extent, my brother, lol) turned out so awesome. If you want to see what happens to boys raised in broken homes with no parent around most of the time, visit any prison. About 75% of convicts were raised by single mothers.

[omnisage]

did she stay at home to write her book?

[bhickman6]

How can you say Dr. Laura and Pat Robertson are a joke? Sure, they are evil, but they are no joke. They have caused so much anti-science bullshit that it's a wonder they are not tried in court for their promotion of cancer. Idiocy makes money though.

[Triforce007]

What about stay at home Dads? Don't they get some credit too.

[forcedRcon]

C U N T

[Khonsu1212]

what defines "wife-ing"?

[justicefx]

If you're not going to care for your kid once it's born, GO GET A GERBIL!!! Parenting is HARD work but you'll never lie on your death bed & wish you worked more!

[sheillaen]

Children are better off having two parents that can work. When children do not always have their parents to around to help them with everything they become independent. I am not saying it not good for Children to NEVER count on mother and fathers, it not like they are work 24 hours to never spend with there kids. Letting women get out there to work is better for the women and her family because she learn more skill, experience and also there more income fore the, and so on.

[LuckyBambooExpert]

CBN CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES!

[zuniga6412]

DR. Laura is a joke.

[felldownonce1]

I have one kid and work.

My sister has four kids and has always stayed home.

We each have made choices that suit our personalities and keep us healthy mentally.

I have no right to judge her decision, she has no right to judge mine and guess what...we don't and both of our families are certainly functionally.

The true focus should be on women who need support in the roles of single moms...many of whom did not intend to end up that way.

But hey...it's much more fun to promote division.

[MrKevMan]

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her

period of menstrual uncleanliness -- Lev. 15:19-24. The problem is, how do

I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offence.

[vinhx76]

Mother Teresa is also pretty ugly, but I guess that's not important.

[Jibjub80]

My previous comment was supposed to have read, "her degree is in physiology, not psychology. Soliciting advice from Laura would be like asking an engineer for advice who may hold a PHD." So, I apologize that my sentence did not make sense.

[Jibjub80]

Oh gawd, she looks so ugly at 1.29, and she's also discredited by the APA. Her degree is in Soliciting advice from Laura would be like asking an engineer who may hold a PHD. But of course, someone like Pat Robertson would like her, because those two are cut from the same cloth. They're both nuts.

[Busolishi]

I have to admit that we need more great women like laura Schlessinger. We need women who are realists and will say the truth to other women.

[Prayertwo]

Just because you are NOT a Stay-at-Home mom, it doesn't mean you are a BAD person! Laura has criticized working mothers. As long as they can balance between work & home, but if you are "career obssesed" &workaholic then I could understand her criticizing! In this economy, you cannot live on 1 income! I have a sister who is PRAYING FOR MOTHERS TO LOSE THEIR JOBS SO THAT THEY WILL STAY HOME W/THEIR KIDS! THAT IS NOT COOL! If it were to happen(God forbid ) then she will claim God made it happen!

[patsaxon]

I think Dr. Laura is great!

[parliament10xz]

I think you need help !!

[x23biggestfan]

I don't agree with her. As far as I'm concerned, you can stay at home and be a lousy parent and work and be a good parent, or vice-versa.

I find the association with staying at home and "nurturing" your kids ridiculous. You can do it and work.

Otherwise, how about the fathers? Or she thinks that only the mother plays an important role taking care of the kids?

[boysie30]

ummm no sorry you cant exactly nurture your newborn through 5 yr old while your away at work. I can see the argument once they are in school but babies toddlers and preschoolers should have and desperately need their mothers at home with them. Its detrimental for them to reach their full potential emotionally and intellectually. I couldnt imagine dropping my 6 week old newborn off with someone else for 8 hours a day!

[x23biggestfan]

"I couldnt imagine dropping(...)"

Ok but that's you. Whatever the beliefs you have, I don't care if you live according to them, but I think each individual must have the choice.

And yes, kids need nurturing, but what about the father? I don't buy this thing that the one who's truly important for the kids is the mother and that the father plays an immensely smaller role.

If parents couldn't be good parents working out, then so couldn't the father.

[cecilbdml]

@x23biggestfan

It's not that she's de-emphasizing the role of the father. Fathers also play a very important (although different) role in a child's life.

Dr. Laura simply chose to focus on the mother's role. There has been a lot of tug of war over what path a mother should a mother should (either career mom or stay at home mom).

[x23biggestfan]

"ummm no sorry you cant exactly nurture your newborn through 5 yr old while your away at work. "

:P Of course not, I mean that you can work out and while you are at home (which will happen, people don't work the entire day) you still have the time to nurture them.

[boysie30]

Well assuming most people who work do so for 8 full hours plus an hour for lunch. Most people dont get home until 5 or 6. And those few hours a day before bedtime just are not enogh to giv your baby what he needsof you. I know.seven yrs ago after my 1st son was born I had to work full time. I didnt get home with him until around 6. I fed himdinner gave him a bath and put him to bed. I only had two days a week for quality time. The weekend. And alot of that time had tobe spent doing housechores.

[x23biggestfan]

"And a lot of that time had tobe spent doing housechores."

Couldn't you pay a maid? And he went to sleep at 7? O.o 'Cause that's pretty early...

[boysie30]

No I couldnt afford a maid. My husband and I were just starting out. And do you have kids? Babies go to bed as early as 6pm. They sleep for 12 hous. So no he didnt go to bed at 7 more like 6 30 and slept til 6 30 am. Thats not early at all for a baby to go to bed. Yes the father is important also. But my husband has a law degree. I do not. Therefore he makes more money than I ever could so I happily stay home. I think its sad so many babies being "rasied" in day care.

[x23biggestfan]

"Babies go to bed as early as 6pm." Oh I see, is just that I thought you were mentioning problems with lack of time when he was a child, because I didn't thought that there was much to do with him (in terms of nurturing, activities etc) when he was a baby anyway.

"I think its sad so many babies being "raised" in day care."

Yeah ok, my point is just that is not because the mother stays at home that she raises the kids or is a better mother.

[possumpistol]

I worked when my kids were little. When my husband earned enuff, I quit and stayed home. I asked the kids which THEY prefered...and they preferred me to be HOME when they got home. They are all 3 responsible adults and parents....and very nice people. I think being a stay at home mom made a difference...and I didn't have anyone to tell me to stay home with them.

[cadillackid65]

what a hypocrit... tells women to set a date blahblahblah.. and shacked up with a married man for 8 years before she got married

[subsamadhi]

wasn't this idiotic hypocrite of a woman in a soft porn?

[Bardlettt]

I highly doubt it- anything that enters that twat turns black and shrivels up.

[subsamadhi]

she did some nude pictures or something. enough to make a person vomit. she looks like my chainsmoking 70 year old aunt.

[MisterPhunE]

Wasn't her own son investigated for running a website that had child porn on it?

[kkaareennauujllaa]

wow, are you serious?

[Ghoulardifan]

Ask Dr. Laura what SHE was doing when her son was little. Yep. You know it: WORKING outside of the home!!!! And please: "He never knew I worked!" Right. Give me a break. Self-righteous people with all the answers never consider economic necessity for women who HAVE to work.

Isn't it ironic that Dr. Laura herself is working her rear end off and making big bucks by telling the rest of us to stay home. Know-it-alls like her make me ill.

[L8DSheena]

because society glorifies the condition of the single mother. if women would be smart nough to find a HUSBAND who could take care of them and their children instead of hooking up with womever would have them, they wouldnt have to go to work!!

[louthebody]

All I can say is thank God for Moms. My Mom was a stay at home Mom. My dad didn't appreciate her till she was gone. I don't think any other woman would have put up with the crap he put her through, but she loved his dumb ass. She was really one of the good ones. When ever I see a husband talk badly to his wife or a kid disrespect their mom it makes me extreamly angry. It's amazing good guys get bad wives and good gals get bad husbands. Go figure.
