Dear Abby

Working wife's complaint: hubby should pack own lunch

DEAR ABBY: I am a part-time student and a full-time working woman. My husband commutes to work and must arrive there by 7:45 a.m. My problem: He expects me to prepare his breakfast and pack his lunch every morning. He contends that he can’t do it he doesn’t have the time. I have been doing it for the last two years, and he hasn’t seemed to appreciate my efforts. For the last week I have refused to perform the above-mentioned services. I’ve told him that he must become responsible and take care of his own needs. Since then he has been buying his breakfast at a fastfood restaurant and spending lunch money we do not have. How should I handle this? FRUSTRATED DEAR FRUSTRATED: First, be honest with yourself. Your marriage is in trouble and the least of it is a shortage of money. If you are irritated by his lack of appreciation, say so, instead of punishing him by refusing to prepare his breakfast and pack his lunch “in an effort to make him responsible for his own needs.” He’s not your son, he’s your husband. Get family counseling before your husband is not only eating out he starts sleeping out. ♦ * * DEAR ABBY: I am being married soon, and I have a question that no one seems to know the answer to. My best friend’s mother says that when the bride comes down the aisle, the guests are not supposed to stand. She says that people originally stood at funerals to show

respect for the dead. I would like to know the answer so that my mother will know whether to stand or not. I would hate for my wedding to be confused with a funeral. MARRIED OR DEAD? DEAR MARRIED: In some churches, and in some (but not all) areas, it’s traditional for the guests to stand when the bride comes down the aisld. If you want the guests to stand when you come down the aisle, designate a few people to stand, then everyone else will follow suit. * * * DEAR ABBY: I just received your booklet, “How to Be Popular,” and have read it through twice. It is excellent for older people as well as young. I think it should be in every home and high school library. I am not a teen-ager; I am a retired school teacher. Keep up the good work.

Divorce hassles hurt kids years after parents split

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) More than half of divorced parents continue as long as five years after they split up to have angry relationships that may be harmful to their children, a study has found. Fifty-eight percent of divorced parents are either constantly arguing or else dragging one another back to court five years after their divorces, said the study’s director, Constance Ahrons of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. Ahrons said Thursday at the annual meeting of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy that these findings differed only slightly from one year after divorce, when 63 percent of parents remain very angry with one another. The children can suffer as a result because they end up spending less time with the parent who does not live with them, Ahrons said. The study, financed in part by the National Institute of Mental Health, was based on interviews with 98 pairs of divorced parents one year, three years and five years after their divorces. It is the first study to take a longterm look at divorce in average families, Ahrons said. Most previous studies have used parents who were referred to social agencies or therapists because of serious problems. The study was intended to find out whether divorced parents continued

Soft crib toys pose danger; being recalled

WASHINGTON (AP) The Johnson & Johnson Baby Products Co. will recall three soft crib toys which could pose a strangulation threat to infants, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has announced. The action involves Soft Triplets, Piglet Crib Gym and Triplets Marching Band, the commission said

to function as some sort of family with their children. Ahrons separated divorced parents into four groups, based on the interviews. The first group was what she calls the “perfect pals,” who saw each other regularly and considered themselves best friends, even though they felt happier being divorced than married. One year after divorce, 28 percent of the couples fell into this category. By five years after the divorce, only 9 percent could be described this way. “The reason for that was remarriage,” Ahrons said. Only those perfect pals who did not remarry were able to maintain that relationship. The second group was the “cooperative colleagues,” who were able to separate their anger at their former spouse from their responsibilities to their children. Five years after divorce, 33 percent were cooperative colleagues. Many of the perfect pals moved to this group when one of them remarried, Ahrons said. The next group was “angry associates,” whose conflicts constantly flared up. Five years after divorce, 20 percent of the couples behaved this way. The “fiery foes” were even worse, dragging one another back to the courtroom at the slightest provocation. They made up 38 percent of the couples after five years.

Mrs. Ronald Chatlos. The prospective groom's parents are Harold Whitaker and Mrs. Coweta Grove. The couple, both of whom are employed at IBM, will reside at Cloverdale.

Thursday. More than 1.6 million of the toys have been sold since 1979 at prices ranging from $6.50 to $8 each. The company said it will refund the price of the toys as part of a consent agreement settling a complaint filed May 30 by the commission. The safety commission charged that the toys could pose a hazard to toddlers, while Johnson & Johnson had contended that the toys were safe when used as directed. Two deaths had been reported involving the toys, the commission said. Parents can obtain information on the refund by calling the company at 800-262-2232. Or they can return the toy to Soft Triplets Refund Offer, Stratmar Station, P.O. Box 7422, Bridgeport, Conn., 06650.
