B. Dim a responsible wife,
and mother of three children. /
have tried, truly tried hard for ten
years to make a pleasant home by
working and saving and doing
everything know it takes to make
and correctly build a home. Near
ly everything / didn't want in life
is what I've had. Now 1 am tired
of being trampled down in feeling
by this man. 1 never get enough
money to buy the children's gar
ments, nothing to speak of. He's
overbearing and not kind at all. /
don't want to leave my children so
what must 1 do for a decent
change?
Ans: You are to be commended
for being a loyal mother to your
children. But in your struggle to
make home for your children and
to form their character, you have
overlooked the most essential fac
tor in your marriage. You have
failed to give your husband the
love and cOmpaniOnship of a wife.
Therefore, he has grown resentful
and feels that he isn't needed for
anything but to foot the bills. He
doesn't get the opportunity to voice
his opinion in rearing the children,
he isn't consulted regarding their
schooling, play and habits. In Or
der to correct the trouble that ex-
lists in your home, you must begin
Immediately to bring your children
closer to their father and make him
feel as close to you as your children
are.

satisfaction of having her own bed
room suite. 1t doesn't take a great
