Thanks for listening to my call of the day podcast. You can hear my live radio program Monday through Friday from 2 to 5 p.m. Eastern time on serious XM triumph 11. Larry and Susan welcome to the program.

0:13.6

Hi, Dr. Laura. Hi. Hi. Can I tell you my problem? Yes. Okay. My husband received a phone call this morning from my son. I was sleeping. He informed my husband.

0:28.7

Actually, he won't be able to take me out from Mother's Day because his son is on a traveling baseball team.

0:36.2

And there's two games that Jay. So he'd like to take me out two weeks prior before for Mother's Day.

0:46.7

Now, I like to go and celebrate Mother's Day on Mother's Day. I he's not taking me out the mother either.

0:55.3

When I wasn't informed of this until I checked him back the second time. Now I'm a little upset.

1:05.3

Do you have a steel rod up your butt? I just want to know why you are so ridiculously rigid. His first obligation is to his child, not you.

1:21.8

Nonetheless, he is making sure that he can have a Mother's Day celebration with you at another time.

1:31.3

And you're doing the I'm hurt crap. I want to pinch your head off. You've got a great son.

1:37.0

Silly you take the pipe out of your butt. Can I say something? No.

1:43.7

Can I say something? Sure. I'm sorry. I can't hear you very well. You're in a car, Susan. So if you want to say something, you better speak up.

2:03.7

Okay, I actually feel that I'm his mother. One day of a year he could take up and celebrate with his mother. He only has one mother.

2:15.7

Susan, take the pipe out of your ass. You're being a brat in addition. I'm so disappointed because I can tell you're clearly from Brooklyn.

2:24.7

I'm from Brooklyn and we don't think this selfishly. You be quiet now. You be quiet now. He is celebrating Mother's Day with you. Just not on Mother's Day.

2:36.7

He's going to be with his son and you brought him up to know that children come first.

2:44.7

Water rolls downhill. Not up. You make a fuss about this and I swear to God, I hope he doesn't talk to you for a year.

2:54.7

All right, that's Laura. Thank you so much, Doctor Laura. You made yourself perfectly clear. It was a pleasure talking to you. I love you.

3:02.7

I'm from Brooklyn too. We got to stick together. You know what I'm saying? My number 1-800-375-2872. Good God. Kids come first.

3:18.7

Kids come first. I brought my son up. He would do exactly that. He had kids. He'd be saying, Mom, sorry. Can I come two weeks before or two weeks after? Yeah, of course.

3:29.7
