Thank you, Laurie!!! Why wouldn't you want your children, if given the choice, to be around people who LOVE them? It just doesn't make sense!!! I think all the parents who DO have a choice should ask their kids, if old enough, if they want to stay home with mom today. See how that goes!!!! Kids don't care about "things" that you can give them, as much as you may think. Most kids would be happy with a stick and a ball if they had a parent to play with them.
