Thank you for listening to this edition of the Call of the Day.

Be sure to listen to my program Monday through Friday now heard on Sirius XM Triumph 2011.

And welcome to the program.

Hi Dr. Laura.

Hi.

Hi.

At the twins, the 13 year old guy, twins who called in were adorable and they reminded me of some,

a little bit of a story.

I have two college-aged daughters and it often happens that parents, friends, different

parents that I know, comment to me, oh, your daughters are so lovely, they're so together,

they, you know, they're very good at working their way through the world.

And they, and other parents give my daughters, tell me a lot of nice things about my daughters.

And then these parents oftentimes say to me, Anne, what did you do?

How did you like tell us your trick?

What did you do to make them treat people?

And interestingly, a lot of people aren't really that thrilled with my answer.

My answer is I stayed home with them and I was there for them, basically, you know, 24-7

for many years and it's just super interesting that, um, that's the trick.

They don't like that trick because it's self-sacrifice in there aren't too many people up to that

anymore.

Yes, I'm always blown away because I mean it was hard but I loved and I still loved,

loved, loved being with my daughters and they have a great dad so they're, they're really lucky
