Abby: Mother's 'fair share' depends on who's giving

DEAR READERS: I did it again. I invited my readers to express themselves, and did I get mail! Here’s the original letter: DEAR ABBY: My husband’s mother, who is in her 80s, has come to live with us. She’s financially secure and draws a nice Social Security check every month. We have four teen-agers at home and one in college, and with prices so high these days, we barely make ends meet. I added up all the household expenses and divided them by the number of people who live here, and it comes to $275 a month. (Not including clothing.) Mother thinks $l5O a month is adequate for her share. My husband agrees with her. This includes driving her to town to shop, to the doctor and anywhere else she wants to go. She watches TV all day long and we have to keep the furnace higher for her. I would like the opinion of your readers concerning what Mother’s fair share should be. (What would she pay in a nursing home that doesn’t offer all these extras?) Mother said she would abide by what Dear Abby’s readers say. WAITING IN WASHINGTON DEAR WAITING: I’m waiting, too. Readers? DEAR WAITING: Thank God your daughter-in-law is willing to take you in. You should give her your entire Social

Security check. You couldn’t find a decent nursing home for under SI,OOO a month. Personally, I wouldn’t take my mother-in-law into my home for a million dollars a week! She’s given me nothing but trouble since I married her son. FONTANA, CALIF. DEAR WAITING: May God forgive you! You should be ashamed of yourself. If I could only have my mother in my home, I would wait on her hand-and-foot. My mother died at 42, and I never got to pay her back. APPALLED IN COLORADO DEAR ABBY: Tell Grandma to pry herself away from the tube long enough to sample the real world. Butter is now $2 a pound and so is round steak. I paid 39 cents for four small white potatoes and 16 cents for one sweet potato today. The old lady should keep SIOO a month for her personal expenses and give the rest to the family she’s living with. That won’t even begin to pay for the inconvenience and adjustments they will have to make by her presence. GETTING THERE IN GREELEY DEAR WAITING: Your mother-in-law should pay at least S4OO a month. She can’t take her money with her. Just make sure if she has anything left (after she dies), it will go to you and not to the other relatives. Some old folks are funny when it comes to relatives. It’s always the ones who do the

least for them while they’re living who wind up getting the most. VANCOUVER, B.C. DEAR WAITING: What kind of woman would charge an 80-year-old mother-in-law to live with her? Would you feel the same about your own mother? Did your charge your husband for his food and shelter while he was growing up? Did she require compensation for all the hours of lost sleep and the sacrifices she made during the Depression years when times were really tQugh? I would consider it a privilege to chauffeur my mother-in-law around. Instead, I go to visit her under a marble slab on a hilltop shaded by a rhododendron bush. God bless all 80-year-olds. They’ve been through plenty and deserve to be rewarded. TACOMA, WASH. DEAR WAITING: Take whatever amount you can get and be quiet! My mother is in a nursing home. It costs $4,000 a month for a private room, which she needs because she can’t get along with anybody. Everything else is extra. Doctors, medicine, and $35 every time she gets her toenails trimmed. My brother and I pay the bills, and we aren’t complaining. It beats having her live with us. Your mother-in-law must be an exception. No home is big enough for two famlheß ‘ NO NAME IN CHICAGO

Hints from Heloise

DEAR HELOISE: Save time, money, energy and food! Whether you pack lunches or not, when you are clearing the table after a meal, make a sandwich from that leftover piece of meat or cheese, spoonful of baked beans or whatever. Wrap for freezing. Carry in your lunch sack frozen and it’ll be thawed by lunch. You’ve saved using and washing a refrigerator container, calories by not snacking on leftovers later that evening, and money by not throwing out food. You’ve contributed to a nutritious lunch, varied your menu and, best of all, when they’re frozen, you don’t have to eat today’s leftovers tomorrow. If you don’t pack a lunch, you can enjoy that sandwich
