AUTHOR: Katchick
So disappointing.

I had hoped that you would have come to your senses, or perhaps sobered up, and although the beginning of your post gave me hope that you truly were apologetic for getting on what you so accurately termed (but unnecessarily capitalized as) your "High Horse", the rest of your stupid rambling showed your true colors, and it looks like I have no choice but to participate in this little debate.

Let me sum up my feelings on the matter: Are you frigging kidding me? None of us needs the self-evident platitudes of an arrogant, no-talent, turkey-necked hypocrite like "Dr. Laura" crammed down our throats, and we certainly don't need them filtered down to us through someone like you. Listen here, "big brain", of course the ideal would be to be able to have mothers stay at home with their children, but not everyone has that option. My wife happens to be a stay at home mom (and a hard working, incredibly loving, nurturing one at that), and I think that people should try as hard as they can to swing the one income thing, but the fact remains that not everybody can do it, so keep your misspelled, poorly punctuated and randomly capitalized judgmental crap to yourself.

I have an idea, why don't you just stick to giving that excellent financial and educational advice you like to dish out? Let me see if I have this straight, mortgages and home ownership serve no purpose other than to "tie you down", or words to that effect? Wow, where'd you come up with that one, genius? Great advice. Let's all live in apartments, throwing after-tax money out the window until we retire with no home equity or savings and then have to sponge off of our children. Oh wait, that's right, since it's also not a good idea to send your kids to college, we'll have to sponge off the government instead. What's next, IRA's, life insurance, and the other things fiscally responsible people do are the work of the devil, right? Why don’t you spend a little less time patting yourself on the back for being such a great mother, and a little more time thinking about the future. I mean, I looked at your website, and unless “Crossing Over with Jonathan Edwards” (Oooo, ghosts are watching us!), “The Dr. Phil Show” (there’s a real shocker) and “Mountain Dew” (very nutritious) are paying you big bucks to advertise there, a little serious thought about planning for the future is in order.

Yours truly,

An ex-fraternity boy who was never an alcoholic. OK close, but not quite.
