They number in the millions and they are incredibly important to families and to our society, yet they are under-appreciated, little respected, and even controversial.

Who are they?

They are the stay-at-home moms.

These are women who know in their hearts that staying home to raise their children is the right choice for the whole family. Some do it from the outset of their marriages, while others make the difficult transition from career-driven women to homemakers. Either way, it is a choice that is incredibly rich and rewarding, not to mention challenging.

Now Dr. Laura, building on principles developed during her long career as a licensed marriage and family therapist, provides a wealth of advice and support, as well as compassion and inspiration, to women as they navigate the wonders and struggles of being stay-at-home moms.

Learn how:

  • to hold your head high and deal with naysayers
  • to see the benefits of being home not only for your children but also for your marriage
  • to understand the changes you see in yourself
  • to realize that the sacrifices you endure now will make for lasting bonds and a stronger family, in addition to a more cohesive community


In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms is a special book, a profound and unique understanding of how important it is for mothers to raise their own children.

A Compelling Read for Moms

Debra, OK - April 15, 2009


As an author and mother who writes extensively about motherhood and family life, this book became a must-read as soon as I heard about it.
Dr. Laura's book is filled with compelling arguments for being a SAHM (stay-at-home mom). She doesn't use nameless faceless statistics or mass surveys to support her arguments. Rather, she uses engaging and relevant personal stories and experiences from many SAHMs to make her case.
SAHMs and future/potential SAHMs will appreciate the points she makes on many fronts. Among them, she affirms that being a SAHM is a wonderful use of our intellect (a nice contrast to those who suggest we are wasting our minds by staying home; what an odd thing to say about spending real time with your children), that true quality time can only really come from quantity time (in other words, quality time doesn't necessarily occur on demand during specified time periods), and that there is, in effect, nothing like a mother's love out there…
