Hi Dr. Laura,
I've been married to my man for 22 years and we have a 19-year-old daughter. I have been a stay-at-home mom since the day we got married. As a young bride and mom, I always wanted a Mother's Day gift -- and I was sort of a brat about it.
About 5 years ago, I realized my hard-working husband gave me the best gift ever...GETTING to stay home and raise our wonderful daughter. What an AMAZING gift! I cannot believe it took me that long realize this. The day it dawned on my thick skull, I called my husband and told him he never had to buy me any gift ever again -- The gift of raising our daughter was more than I will ever need. He was blown away. I thank him on every holiday and even when it isn't a holiday for this special gift. Sure, he still buys me wonderful things, but never because I ask for them or expect them. I'm forever grateful for the gift of being a stay-at-home mom.
Thanks Dr. Laura for knocking sense into me from time to time.
