DEAR MISS DIX-When my husband was 16 year: old he married a girl o! 15.

His mother dl-d. leavin!

guch a big family. and now that I am going to have a child of my Own I Rm so nervous I am almost ol-azy- ‘I91 there seems nothlnz to do. for my hus- band says that nothing will make him break m5 prljmlse h) his mother. Also I love him. and when I think abfllli leaving him to face all of this mes:

llat I would be a quittcr. What should I do? F. B. DEMAND GROWN HARASITES SHIFT FOR THEMSELVES

ANSWER-Di course. you brought your misfortunes down on your own head, for your husband was honest with you and warned you of just what sort of a domestic 11011 you would have to live in if you mauled him. Yet you deliberately walked into it.

You must have been crazilv in love to have done so. and to have de- luded yourself into believing that even love could compensate for having to live in a house with a dozen or so of youngsters of assorted ages over whom you would have no control; whose noise and dirt and rudeness you would have to stand, and for whom voll would have to toil and sacrifice yourself. And the pitv of it. is that while love can nbrvc us up to do great deeds, it doesn't, stand the wear of daily fret.

I think that your husband i: taking a wron and Quixotic view of the situation by offering 11p you. as well as himscl . on the family altar. I think his duty is to vou more than it is to his brothers and sisters, and that he should not feel bound by his promise to his mother. Death bed promises are always holdnps. wrung under pressure from someone who loves the dying ncrson and who fc ls that no sacrifice is too great to give the departing one a moment's hn piness. but afterwards. when circum- stances have changed so n5 to make the keeping of these promises inad- visable. the one who W115 forced into making them should feel justified in breaking them. If saints 111 glory know what 1t happening on this troub- led old earth. it can give them no pleasure to know that they have im- posed conditions on their loved one: that are crushing them.

Nor is your husband helping his brothers and sisters by keeping his promise to his mother. On the contrary. he ls ruining them by making them parasites who live off of him, when they are lust a: able to 511D- port themselves as he is to support them. So for their sake. a= well n: lfor his and yours. he should have a house clearinz and make all 0' the

married ones. with their husbands and wives and children. and all the lboys and zirls over 16 lzet out and set up their own homes and stay in That would cut vour household down to a size that you could lhandle. and prevent the breaking up of your own home

FATHER MAY HAVE FILLED HIS IDLE

DEAR. DOROTHY DIX-We are a boy and a girl with a mother who is Just tops, but our father has never really shown any interest in us. and Mother has been mother and father both to us all our lives. She makes excuses for him, saying: "He's tired!" He's busy!" "He loves you, BUT." Dad just likes l0 pay the bills, but anything else is too much trouble. Per. sonally. we WOllflEl‘ why Mother married him. He has no sense of humor and is always either yelling at us. or forgetting we are around.

We never went on a picnic with him or, in fact. did anything with him that other children do with their fathers. It is always Mother who never ts us down. Dad will say "Ask your Mother." Or: “Your Mother will do it." 01-: "Your Mother will take you." Fathers like curs should not be fathers, and mothers like ours deserve a medal. What would we do with- out them? TWO TEENS.

ANSWER-Well, I think a father who like: to pay the bill: rate: a medal. loo. Have you ever considered what you would do without him? He has put in many a hard year's work supporting you two ungrateful kids. and you will never appreciate him untll you have children of your 'ow11, and find ollt 110w much money it takes to bring up children.

I suppose it has never occurred but a cash register for you or your mother to punch for your benefit. You for laboring. You have thought that he stayed at, home and sweat yfiur mother went to summer and winter resorts, because he didn't like c ange.

You have thought that he was wedded to his old clothes and went shabby because 11c 11nd 11o sense of style. So it will probebly surprise cu , to learn that he 1111s longed for vacations when he was tired; that he as _w11lked many n mile by a sporting goods shop ‘to see the guns and the

fislllng rods that he would ll e to have hurl. but couldn't. buy because you had to have your adenolds out. or your teeth straightened, or fancy sweaters like the other kids had.

And :1 11c hasn't pulled with you or taken you around. maybe it has been DOCIHIS‘ 11c W115 too tired to go plilces uitel" his hard day's work: o1" maybe bccnusc he didn't. have the good clothes t0 lzo with yours and mother's; or maybe 1t was bCCF-USQ Mother had so monopolized you that. it lhut him entirely out 01' the picture. A lot of good mothers do, vou know. They never let their husbands have any say-so about the child- ren wltllollt n row. so he relinquishes ills right. to their affections for the sake of peace.
