work my ia,her-ilatler and calolc
HIM into doing things that were noth-
ing but plain dutIe, rub his fur the
right way before she made perieeIv
reasonable requests Of him. and T

ANYTHING wanted tina, | would have
to follow IN my mothers footsteps

| husband as an oracle and ask his adj
vice about things that | have already
decided. too wheedle money out oil
him instead Of demanding il as 4
right. because | earn /. as a wife and
mother because he likes 10 be off
