Life is short, and especially in the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, do we give one another the quality time and attention, our loved ones deserve, and need? Before it's too late? The Mamas of American Ground Radio addressed the question that we all end up asking ourselves, "Did You Say Everything You Wanted To Say?"

"Dear Mamas,
In this fierce political atmosphere with women being vicious toward other women, it is hard to encourage my daughters to stay positive. Do mean people know how scary they are to children watching them? We thought the White House decor for Christmas was beautiful but others saw our First Lady as an Evil Queen." - Listener Submission
Many claim to have a feminist mentality, but then insist on pushing other women down instead of lifting them up. In situations like these, surrounded by rude and nasty sentiments, teach your children to be a light and to spread positivity. It's sorely needed. Listen in to "What Would Mama Do?" to get the Mamas' take on this dilemma.

"Dear American Mamas,
I know you both have spent a lot of time in the stands watching your kids' local football teams over the years. But, do you think enough other people will come out and sit in the stand for teams that aren’t from around here to fill the Independence Bowl this year? Just curious." - Listener Submission

Independence Bowl attendance in past years has been low, giving fodder to the complainers and Negative Nancys about town. Of course, those same people are also the first to pitch a fit about Shreveport's reputation! No matter if the teams are from near or far, it's important to show up and support local industry and business. Manifest positivity and city pride by being there with a rallying cry! We spoke to Mama Denise Vinson Arthur about the importance of local involvement on "What Would Mama Do?"

"Dear Mamas,
I've lost my faith in our justice system. I don't understand how a jury of 12 Americans could have let the illegal immigrant who shot and killed Kate Steinle out in California get off without a conviction. If they wouldn't convict someone like that and the people who are supposed to protect us just let these people out of prison for political reasons, what hope does this country have? How do you keep your faith in America when America goes and does something as insane as this?" - Listener Submission

This news of this trial has had many Americans reeling and concerned for the future of our country. Will politically-motivated hate continue to supersede good judgment? The Mamas, Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, discussed the case, politics, and faith in God and country on "What Would Mama Do?"

"Dear Mamas,
I am a medical person and recently had an office visit with my primary doctor. While sitting in the waiting room, there was a gentleman who was tapping his watch and getting everyone worked up. I wanted to explain how things can cause a delay but I would have been carried off to walk the plank. I know you both have insight into this so can you explain to people that a little patience can go a long way?" - Listener Submission

Familiar with the medical field, the Mamas, Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, both had quite a lot to say about this on "What Would Mama Do?" Emergencies do happen, and things come up. Being impatient won't help hurry anything along, it will only spoil the mood of everyone around you! It's important to be considerate of those around you in the waiting room and working in the office, and empathetic to the person in the slot ahead of yours. Great insight from the Mamas!

"How do you reconcile your love for someone with the revelation that they have behaved badly?"
As more public figures are accused of sexual harassment, it's easy to demonize from afar. When it becomes personal, it's harder to do so. How does this affect the colleagues, friends, and family of those accused? Regardless if the accusations are true or false, relationships have been permanently impacted. How do you move on, and make the decision to extend grace and love? We broke this down with the Mamas, Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, on "What Would Mama Do?"

It's hard enough holiday shopping without the added frustration of limited parking. Just when you think you find that lucky spot, you roll past a cluster of buggies instead. The worst part about it... there's a collection spot a mere ten feet away! How frustrating. Why do these people insist on not returning their carts? Didn't their mamas teach them manners?

This happens to be a particular pet peeve of the Mamas, Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, and the subject of this "What Would Mama Do?". Listen in.

"Dear Teri and Denise,
In the wake of the Katie Grantham tragedy that has affected all of us in the Shreveport-Bossier community and beyond, how can we possibly move forward in light and love, and happiness, this holiday season, when so many of us are devastated over this tragic loss? I can hardly think of anything else right now. What can we possibly do for this family who is suffering so terribly?" - Listener Submission

It's often hard to make sense of the senseless, and to live in light in the face of such darkness. We had the Mamas, Teri Spinks Netterville and Denise Vinson Arthur, weigh in on this one on Monday's "What Would Mama Do?"

"Dear American Mamas, I know I’m supposed to enjoy the Holidays, but I can’t. You see, last year, my mother passed away on Thanksgiving weekend. I know I’m supposed to be thankful for the time we had, but I’m bitter. I want more. All of the sights and sounds and smells of the season are just reminders of what we lost. How do I get back the joy of Thanksgiving after losing such a vital part of my life?"

"My husband and I have been divorced for over a year now. This year, I am struggling with sharing our children during the holidays, especially now that my ex has a new girlfriend. My children and I talk about everything, we always have, including our personal disdain regarding my husband and this woman who seems to be with him 24/7. I have met her, and she's polite enough to my face. But frankly, my kids just aren't ready for all of this. They say it grosses them out to see their dad be so loving and kind to his new love. How can I help them through these holidays? I don't want them miserable the whole time. My daughter is 11, my son is 8. Signed, Bitter in Texas" - Listener Submission

Despite the soured relationship with your former spouse, it's very important to lead your children in love and to respect the relationship between them and your ex. Mama Teri Spinks Netterville weighed in on "What Would Mama Do?" with some great advice on how to rise above and how to find a healthy outlet for those negative feelings.
