Dr. Laura disapproves of working mothers, extremely disappointed in Palin pick

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

I am so sick of people like this undermining women being working mothers and wives. We've let husbands do it for millennia. When I got married, everyone asked me if I was going to quit med school. NO. When I tell people when we plan on having kids, they keep asking if I'll quit, ummm NO! Why do we as a society want to waste 1/2 our population's talent and intelligence cleaning house and having babies. If a woman wants to stay home with her family, cool. If she wants go out and work, cool too. I have much more earning potential than my husband, and he wants to stay home with the family, yet SOOOO many people can't understand how I could leave my kids or some ####### like that. It just drives me nuts how kids are "suffering" if a woman works but say nothing if the dad works. Ugh, people need to get over themselves and worry more about how they live their life than how the rest of live ours.

Thanks for posting this A.J.!

Yeah she does that too - very much into the traditional gender roles.

She does a self-help advice show in California (though I think she's syndicated nationwide). The wife and I used to listen to her show - mainly because we were amazed about horrible and unpleasant she is.

Imagine Judge Judy doing a self-help radio show... that's Dr. Laura

Actually from what I've seen Judge Judy is a bit nicer than Dr. Laura...

Hard to imagine I know...

And there certainly are people out there who still live by traditional gender roles, and good for them.

But clearly, it isn't for everybody and it doesn't even make practical sense for everybody.

Judge Judy is all bark and no bite...

I have seen Judge Judy a couple of times, she seems like a fair person for the most part and doesn't suffer fools gladly...of course she's not 'hot' like those other ones...

Dr Laura is all bite.

WHAT? You mean they are not universal guidelines send by the Gods for all of us to obediently abide by them?????

And, "Dr." Laura IS one creepy #######.

I am haunted by the family pictures of the Palins during political photo-ops, showing the eldest daughter, now pregnant with her own child, cuddling the family's newborn.

The horror!
