I don't really think it's funny. And, I COMPLETELY RESPECT all of you who have posted your opinions about it, whether or not it agrees with my feelings, or what the book says. But posting mocking pictures is immature.
oooh i m sorry you were offended. . . i think they were just trying to lighten the mood. .
again i know it is hard bc it feels like they are getting personal - but they disagree with the ideas for their own lives NOT with you personally
yeah--don't think we are making fun of YOU at all Amanda -- this is just to make everyone laugh that's all. no one is bashing you at all--you liked the book and that's great.
Dr. Laura is just such a controversial figure that no matter what her name pops up---it causes debate and fire. i think posters put the pics up just to laugh as a representation of their opinion on her. but don't take it personal at all....not towards you!
I appreciate that.
I'm notorious at finding the perfect image for every situation - its all in good fun...
I DO think its a little stepford wife-ish... it reminds me of that article about women in the 50's and women now - I have to find it...

No, that's not what she is saying.
It's hard for me to express it, but, this is basically what she is saying..... for stay at home moms.
Stay at home moms do have one of the hardest jobs in the world. However, they are very fortunate to be able to stay at home and be with their children, because their husband is working. So, instead of as soon as he walks in the door, bombarding him with the trials and tribulations of your day, you give him 15 minutes to wind down from his, and then do it.
Does that make sense? It's really all about little things that we do, that we can do differently, for a better result.
Sorry - my husband works 60+ hours a week. guess what? We can NOT afford for me to stay at home.
Does this reflect on him being a man? Or me being a woman? Or our relationship?
nope. It's living on Long Island. Maybe Dr. Laura is talking about living in the boonies somewhere where one income will cut it, but for us, it doesn't...

Posted by HearzBellzwow, you respect us enough to feel badly for our husbands. How nice!
Posted by AmandaLynn04
Thank you, and, I feel the same way.... I'm super traditional. And, I completely respect those who feel differently from me.
I feel badly for my husband. I'm a pain in the A s s
But, being that we have been together for 4 years, I would have to say he knew what he was in for from the moment he planted one on my obnoxius little lips....
Let your imagination wander which lips.
See, I'm old fashioned too.

while she does have some pretty strong opinions on staying at home with the kids. . . this particular part is just talking about a certain situation when a husband comes home his wife bombards him at the door with complaints. . . i know i am guilty of this and just recently starting 'timing it out' better. . . wait 15 minutes, pick a better time. Just like I dont want to hear anything for a little while when I get home from work, just extending the same courtesy. .
for the record: i will definitely have to work full time after have kids, as did my mother. i still hope to live up to her excellent example of working full time and still cooking, cleaning and raising us. . . that would be my ideal. . .

Honestly, I DO bombard my DH - I have to. there are days when I'm home alone with the baby for hours and hours, and he isnt sleeping and occasionally screaming (very rare - he's a very happy baby.) I'm hungry. I'm tired. I need a break. I need to pee (although I have been ok with putting him down and letting him scream for 30 seconds while I tinkle..)
But, I am not all lovey dovey and rubbing his feet when I am exhausted and need more from him some days than I am getting. Its human nature...

i totally understand that - i just take it as a suggestion of something to do. . . like i know FH would appreciate it if i waited until a better time. . . does that mean i am never going to do it? LOL probably not. . . i am sure if my mom annoys me TONIGHT i will bring it up the moment i get in the car LOL but i just make more of an effort. . .
