We're live from national -- Brad.

Good morning you know I'm just so -- to be part of this experience with.

You know the fact that moms that stay at home apparently don't -- only -- that's going to try to tell that to my mom I would have become mom.

Probably wouldn't -- and believe me you're talking do this morning frankly because she would be used to airbrushed or something to take care of that problem.

I understand now today -- you actually brought in.

A focus group of one a stay at home mom who lives at your house ladies and gentlemen please welcome Deseret Stein who's there.

Morning -- OK okay -- when you heard Hillary Rosen say and Romney stay at home mom hasn't worked a day in her life.

What do you think of that.

Well I thought that it was -- -- -- on traditional family obviously.

Didn't Rick Santorum have too many kids.

And it is nobody's business issues stay at -- -- first of all and of course the woman knows that she's a mother -- to believe she is that it's the hardest thing if you're doing it even halfway right it's the hardest thing in the world to do.

And is the most important thing and frankly I don't want -- village raising my children I wanna do my stuff.

We cannot not do it right I'm sure I'm screw it up you know what I'm giving it my best shot and done this stay at home mom and I know not only do they stay at home and work their -- off.

Raising children and they also are married are usually generally speaking to.

And done and -- -- cub scout moms and girl scout moms.

And -- moms and volunteers you know all over the community so to demean women.

Found is it's just for political purposes and it doesn't help Obama.

It is beautiful.

Yeah you know this straight you're great talking about this in -- doing a good job just nodding in agreement which is which is exactly I think all of us.

No I don't see if you don't exactly and no I understand Deseret when you heard it you thought.

That what she was saying was you know stay at home moms not important.

To right.

Yet today -- -- devalues women.

And you -- to understand what her point was except for.

She's a political pundit and you know she's coming from the left -- and you know the left wants.

I choice.

Is my choices and I.

And -- my -- not make sacrifices.

You know and I could probably not a bigger house some fine house right now but I -- -- more traffic by and have kids I'm sure you know I would be a wealthy woman plus.

He's seen time and -- part of the argument is you know I think it's a Romney's they've got so much money you know that just puts her -- -- special category.

Right well what -- -- the first lady of Massachusetts I have got the job.

You know I -- -- quite a job and raising children as well so again that's wrong with very and and genuine in her.

-- -- -- is -- it let me ask you one quick final question is stay at home on just how rich person problem.

Well I mean I'm privileged obviously that my husband can supply for us that I can stay home.

Right but I mean you're not I I would ever want to say that I think it there's plenty of struggling moms.

That have to work.

And and they do have to sacrifice and I'm sure they had the opportunity they would love to stay home.

And be with their children they're not ours forever they grow up they're leaving and I've got a fifteen year old is driving brand and you know it's heartbreaking to know that my job is almost over right -- -- -- -- -- great -- -- It's made its choice I know it.

You know what Bradley was -- union was a good idea to bring you -- -- she's a shaft she's a Taylor she takes your mind business today she did my job she did hears about problem.

She -- my judgment in our I don't know when vacuum so -- be happy street all right I am happy Brad industries Stein thank you both for joining us live from Nashville today.
