Dr. Laura uses her straight-forward way of speaking to encourage moms who stay at home. The cd version features Dr. Laura reading the book herself so you can appreciate the nuances and inflections of the words she wrote. As a (mostly) stay-at-home-mom I found this encouraging. I also found myself inspired to make sure I was really focusing on enjoying this time instead of always focusing on my to-do list. I do work from home and at times I become so focused on what needs to be done next that I forget to enjoy the moments throughout the day. Dr. Laura's words have inspired me to stop being so obsessed with accomplishing things and to have fun with this short season in life. I feel like I have a greater sense of purpose than I did before listening to this book.For women who don't stay at home, you may not like the tone of the book. Dr. Laura takes a very strong line on what is best for the family and it does go against what many people consider to be "normal". For women who have already chosen to stay at home this book will support and encourage you in what can be a very difficult job at times. I am grateful that I was able to come across this CD set.
As an at-home mother, it is always good to hear praise. I will admit her views are a bit anti-feminism; and I'm sure that may rub some the wrong way. I, however, follow the traditional views that a mother is best for her children--not a daycare provider. I have never listened to her show, so I'm not sure how this compares.It was nice to listen to in the car, and I found it very calming after a long day of caring for kids and husband. Almost theraputic to hear that my struggles are not in vain!
These CD's are full of uplifting and helpful information. I have had the cherished gift to be a stay at home mother of 7 children. Laura's words were reaffirming to my heart. It was powerful, and expressed many feelings and thoughts that I have had, through the many years I have been mothering. It was refreshing hearing someone so bright and articulate express this gift so beautifully. I ordered it for my 3 married daughters and 2 daughter-in-laws. I want them to be uplifted in mothering because the world doesn't offer a lot of that. I asked them to make sure the husbands listen too, it is nice being on the same page of understanding. These CD's help you to appreciate and cherish your husband and children and in turn your husband and children will appreciate and cherish you. These would make great Christmas gifts for any young mother or even older mom's too!
I love listening to this book as I go on walks in the evening. It really helps me put things in perspective.
