How to Help Stay-at-Home Parents

I was flipping through channels and stopped on an interview of Dr. Laura Schlessinger speaking about her new book called “In Praise of Stay-at-Home Moms.” Love her or hate her, she wrote a list that was right on.

5 Things Dad’s Can Do to Help Stay At Home Moms

• Cut out complaining or bragging
• Find something to compliment about the home
• Find time to talk to your wife as “your woman”
• Brag about your wife and kids in her presence
• Provide break or “girl” time for your wife
