Having quadruplets means four times everything. Especially the love.

The mother/daughter comparison in Lauren Alaina’s debut single, “Like My Mother Does,” was much more than a great gimmick for a video treatment.

It’s an accurate reflection of the bond between the “American Idol” runner-up and her mom, Kristy Suddeth.

“The first time she heard it, she cried — bad,” Lauren teased her mom, imitating heaving sobs.

Producers selected from 13 hours of Suddeth family home movies to show how the mom helped shape her daughter’s career and instill a love for her home and family.
