JANE JORDAN

+ DEAR JANE JORDAN—A! 17 I married a man of 19, far below ‘my standards mentally and in every way except physically.” For four antly, struggling constantly, I working beyond

years we moved const: | ‘my strength. I realize my defects, my one fault a strong, romantic ~@ttraction for the opposite sex. rs ~ However, during these four year I was faithful. We have two “adorable daughters now cared for: by their two grandmothers. I am ‘working. For about a|year I have seen very little of them. At first it was unbearable but now I have hardened a great deal although I do have a longing for them. .~ I am only 22 and still attractive. What shall I do? [Shall I furnish a couple of rooms and apply for the widow's pension since “I cannot support the children by myself? Shall I let two very much ‘over-burdened grandmothers keep them? Shall I let people more able in every respect adopt them? Or should I reconcile myself to a man I can’t respect, trust or love? - I am much more mature now and not looking at the world through rose-colored {iii I think it is every girl's dream to marry a man and stick to him through thick and thin for better or “for worse—if he is a man. If we are divorced would I ever find a , man willing to marry a family? “The welfare and future betterment of my children must be fore«most in my decision. ‘I am responsible ‘and no matter what it costs I am willing to pay the price. I feel bitter toward none and see my Situation clearly, but not the answer. MOTHER OF TWO, % 8g = = | rer] 2 #& =

. Answer—If the welfare of your children is your first concern, a ‘home with’ two parents in it is the best possible arrangement, Perhaps your husband, too, has given up some of his magical expsc3ations from life and is willing to work harder to establish such a “home. ’ “= However, if the father is as weak as you think he is, the next “best arrangement for the children is a home with their own mother. “Financial aid is available for mothers without suggient means to support their children. . : I] *. The third best solution for dependent children is to place them in: a boarding home with relatives or other people chosen for thelr suitability in caring for the young who will allow the mother to visit her children and return them to her at the earliest opportunity. To give children away to others for adoption when they have passed the period of early infancy is unthinkable unless both parents are hopelessly incompetent and have no love for their children whatever. It cannot fail to do children a damage to know that they have living parents who did not want them. The Marion County Child Welfare Association will help you work out the best solution for your particular problem. Many widows with children have married again and found happiness. It is not easy to find a man willing and able to assume the responsibility for a ready-made family, but it is not impossible. I should think that a mother with the stamina to stick to her own children through thick and thin would have more attraction for an able man than the woman who carelessly shifted her responsibilities to others wnen things got foo tough for her. JANE JORDAN,

CHILDREN

WHERE DOES TEMPER come from? This is what many mothers would like to know. It comes from the little head and heart, just-as our does. From one to three, when baby gets mad and screams, it is because he has feelings. He is as elemental as a little Hottentot. But he has appeal, too. Buddy is probably mcre sympathetic at this time than he will efer be again in all his life. He feels more sorrow, too, real sorrow, than he ever will again, most likely. What he does comes right from the heart. From one to three he is generous, too, and with no ulterior motives. It is"instinct in a young child to be sympathetic land kind. However. we can't expect any human being to be all sugar. If there is|sweetness in his character, there must be some snips and snarls, too. And there are, ; This baby of ours has a temper. He does not like to be crossed, - and he| does not like t be disciplined. He thinks, if he does think much, “I wouldn't do that to my little boy, and I can’t understand anybody doing it to me.” oa He {likes to take his time.and have his way. That's independ“ence budding. And above all he hates to have his pride cut. : l 2» |2| | 2 a =z JEALOUSY? THE GREEN monster is not at all the exclusive right of older folk. It flourishes with a will in tiny tots. And the pity of it all is that he can’t reason or see justice, as we can. He ~ is as full of “instincts” as an egg is of chick. Then his obstinate will begins to annoy us at three to four. And that’s something we can’t forgive. But haven't we wills too? If your child of three or four is not perfect, lay it to nature. And your job is to get some sort of control and discipline into him without getting too mad about it. 2 He needs daily telling, daily reminding. He needs to know that he does not rule the roost. But he needs also to be happy and think . you loye him. { The important thing at this time is to get him to think discipline! and reminding are fair. He must do his best and learn the ways of people, or he will forever remain an elemental, uncontrolled, little barbarian at heart. He has to take telling, like every mortal ever born. : |
