Just build a damn time machine and gently place the insane lady into it, deport her antiquated sell-out nalgas back to the mid 1950's? Then maybe she'd make some sense. Women have to WORK these days, or the darling kids don't eat. Get it Doc? I was a latchkey kid, my mom worked, came home exhausted and flopped on the sofa immediateley upon arrival back home and how did it affect us as kids? We learned the value of a dollar, how important an education was, how to be self-sufficient, and how much my mother loved us to work like a dog to keep us fed. I wouldn't trade my mother for any stay at homer for any amount of money in the world. Doctora Laura es muy estupida, she don't know how much bread costs I guess.

AACCKK. I can't believe that bigmouth is STILL out there - probably still spewing the same simple-minded claptrap that's been her show for years and years.

I used to tune in to her 5+ years ago, and got totally turned off when she started to mouth off about things she knows NOTHING about, like family life in the military.

Who listens to this bourgeoise twerp? Seriously.

...considering the insane cost of full time childcare, a low income mother (granted she had a husband working full time) would probably be better off staying home instead of working.

The cost of childcare, especially for a baby, can easily outcost a low wage, not to mention her husband would pay much less in taxes having two dependents and only one income.

Doe she deny that we exist at all? Or does she think we should just knuckle down and lower our expectations and just let the parts of our brains that want to do math and program computers atrophy completely?

To me that woman is like a Nazi because I do not even fit into her definition of the human race. She implies in all of her arguments about feminine norms that women like me should just plain not exist.

She's evil.

Dr. laura is an idiot, although a well-paid one. Aside from the blatantly false assertion that "all women" can plan their own hours(!?), Dr. Laura is just flying by the seat of her pants on WHY mothers should stay at home. Dr. Laura's assertion that it's better for the children is just plain made up. She doesn't even try to substantiate it with any evidence except for her own experience, not as a professional, but as a CHILD.

This woman was a working mother, duh.

I am not even going to get into what a weirdo her soldier-boy son was turning into as of a few years ago. Maybe he has turned out to be normal since then I haven't been keeping tabs.

I don't think either of them have any idea their "ideas" on working moms and having children out of Holy Wedlock are SO 10 years ago. Who, exactly, is Dr. L preaching to? Still? Who out there is still listening??? She is out of touch and out to lunch.

And when she was on Larry King Live, asked about the Obama kids, all she could cough up was that she was thrilled to death that their grandmother was living there in the White House. When asked directly, for like the third time, what she thought of Mrs. Obama as a mother, she had no comment. No idea. No opinion. Could not say anything about the First Lady as a mother. because she "didn't get into political things". It was a simple question, wasn't it? Wasn't it?

Cunt.

First, when the tabs and web sites published salacious pics of her in her "young and foolish" days and forced her to make the typical self-serving explanation/excuse.

Second, when her own mother died alone and abandoned, discovered in a serious state of decay by the authorities. Again, a self-serving blame-the-victim (mom) explanation. Poor Dr. L was so overworked glorifying motherhood and telling other women not to work, that she was never able to take time off from her own job and make at least an effort to honor "family values" and reconcile with her own mother.

Thank the radio gods that she's no longer heard on a major-market Chicago station!

Obviously, we'd all be happy as a clown if we follow Dr Laura's example:

Get married

Get tubes tied

Get divorced.

Have an affair with the boss.

Allow Boss to point the camera up our snatch and have total control of photos

Find a nice Jewist guy separated from his wife but not divorced.

Get sexually involved with said guy, convert to his religion but in a selective way, and get married as soon as the divorce is in effect

Get tubes untied and work very hard to get some of our dna in to the gene pool.

Oh - and bring kid to work and have other employees watch him while you work.

I am sure most women would love to be able to bring their kids to work and have daycare provided.

Is that what Dr Cretin is yattering about now?

(has Fractal showed up yet to defend Dr Laura?)

I think "Dr." Laura is a total crank. Having said that, one area that I think she does have a point is on how women treat their men. Her general point is that you have alot of control over how your man feels and acts. Giving a little encouragement, making him needed and special, these things can really make him be the best man he can be. I have many friends whose wives don't get this. The moment they walk in the door they are attacked for not helping enough, told that anything they did do around the house was not done correctly, belittled, etc. Then their wives are surprised that they don't snap to and improve but rather pull back from the relationship. Dr. Laura's question about being your husband's girlfriend is a good one. Do you even remember what it was like to be his girlfriend? You looked forward to seeing him. You made him feel good just by being around you. YOu smiled, you had fun. Remember that? Well, if that is all gone now then you are failing at being a wife. If you spend all your energy being mad at him for not being perfect or not doing everything you want just the way you want it done then you might be too far gone to save.

Let the criticisms begin!
