THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Children Are Made Weary by Nagging BY MARTHA LEE Women's problems multiply between the ages of 35 and 45, if they are married and have no children. If they have children, they multiply, too. In the first case, it usually is because they suddenly find themselves on the ragged edge of middle age without an outlet for their mental energy, excepting themselves, their husbands and the servant problem. In the second case it is because the children are reaching ages when they are becoming what is commonly known as “cautions.” * It is much more normal to be worrying about someone else, however, than it is to pass all the waking moments trying to get back lost youth, which is, unfortunately what most childless wives do when they see youth waving a hasty farewell. Women who have children, for the most part, seem to grow old more gracefully than the wives who have only themselves to think about. Incidentally, too, they seem to stay younger, more in touch with the times, more interested in humanity. Worry Over Children But once in a while you find a mother growing wrinkled and grayheaded through worry over her children. And usually it is because she does not understand them. And the reason she does not understand them is because she will not admit they are growing up, that they are reaching the age when they want to think for themselves, when they no longer require constant watching and caring for. Children resent being treated like infants after they reach the age when, they are capable of doing things for themselves, mentally, just as they resent being carried around after they have learned to walk, or being held down when they have learned to move their arms and l6gS. A mother who wants her children to be perpetual babies writes: Dear Miss Lee: What is the world coming to? I have three children, a baby. 10, a son 15. and a daughter 18. It used to' be that they could do nothing without asking mother if it were all right. Now even the youngest resents my telling her what Is what, according to my way of thinking. In recent years I have noticed a breach widening between my oldest child and myself. She has gotterj independent beyond my understanding. She does not ask me if she may have dates. When I tell her to come in by a certain hour, she may and she may not. When I demand an explanation, she simply says that the others were not ready to come, and she could not leave until they did. When I ask her if it is more important to do what pleases them or me, she says I am unreasonable. She is a good girl. I know, but I am worried about her disregard for my wishes. If she is reading a book and I tell her I do not want her to finish it. she asks the reason, and argues with me about it. as though I do not know what I am talking about. My son is the same. He resents the interest I take in his whereabouts, his school chums, his little affairs. I can not understand it at all. They love me. I am sure, but treat me as Indifferently 'as if I were an aunt who was caring for OLD-FASHIONED MOTHER. You are too interested in them. Your worries are unfounded and the breach between them and you is widening of your own making. Your daughter does not ask you the why about things to make you angry. She asks you so that she may weigh your reasons, against her own. She wants to know your viewpoint on things. She is old enough to want to exercise her own mind on problems that directly concern her. J Looks Like Curiosity Don’t you understand that your avid interest in the least little thing they do or say, read or think, must seem like plain curiosity to them? As though every little thing they did had to be weighed and measured and finally passed on? They want to think things out for themselves. If you think they are wrong, if you feel they have arrived at a false conclusion, they want to know the workings of your mind, responsible for the attitude on the subject you have. That is not being disrespectful nor dishonoring you as a mother. Your children’s confidence will come without your seeking it, if you do seek it, at times when it is unnecessary and trivial, some time when it would be a great help, they will think of your questions on some very trivial subject, and reject you as their confidante. It is better to get in step with the times, however distasteful they may be to you than to lose out completely with those you love most. Washing Pets When you wash your pets, | whether cats or dogs, have warm j water and be sute to riQse and dry . him thoroughly. Never allow him j to lick his coat dry. If possible, , keep in a warm room for a couple of hours, unless it is very warm outside. Blunt Needles A blunt machine needle, or any j kind for that matter, can be, sharpened by stitching through fine sandpaper several times.
