JANE JORDAN

DEAR JANE JORDAN--I am a woman of 31, married, nine years. I have no children but a real good husband. We both love children but can’t have any. Four years ago my 15-year-old sister had a baby. She left her husband before the baby came. My mother wrote me that my little sister was driving her crazy; so my.husband and I went there and brought my sister and the baby home with us. She said the baby was all ours and she got a job. Soon she was driving me crazy, too, but we never asked her for any money. We were crazy about the baby and afraid to make her mad for fear she would take the baby away. Eight months ago she married again. She is the man’s third wife. They take the baby girl one night a week. For the first tine I asked her for money as she and her husband both work. I wanted her to help me send our mother a little money every week but she refused and has been mad ever since. I only asked for $3 a week board for the baby. Now every week she curses me and tells me she is going to take the baby away. I have heard her say it so many times I begin to feel like maybe she should, but my husband is so crazy about the baby I am afraid he won't be happy any more if I make her take the haby away. He holds her hand every night until she goes to sleep. Understand I love this child with all my heart but I feel like the longer we keep her the harder it will be for us to give her up. I know I never will be as happy without her but I will love my husband as much as ever, I don't know how he will take it. I am sure the child won't be treated well if she leaves. What would you do? Will my good, kind, sweet husband gét too lonesome for the baby and maybe blame me? My heart is so full it is about to burst. MK M

Answer=-I think it would be fine if you could forget what was right for your sister or yourself and remember only what was right for the child. After all she is not responsible for her mother’s behavior and should not be made to pay any penalty for it. You and your husband have had her since she was a baby and she regards you as parents. Anything that would uproot her from her home and put her in an unfavorable environment would be bad for her. Of course your sister should pay something toward her support. But you let her off for so many years when she was hard-pressed that now she feels no responsibility even though she is able to pay. You would have been wiser to require something from her in the begimning, no matter how small. Now you have an irresponsible person on your hands who feels aggrieved when you ask her for anything. However, this is not the baby’s fault at all. She has found love and care in your home and you've managed without the money up until now. Would it be fair to take a stand with your sister, howeever just, that would deprive the baby of her home? You may be a little fearful that the child will take too much »f vour husband's love away from you. Even if you were the child's own lither rou might be a bit jealous of your husband's devotion. siany mothers do feel jealous of their daughters, just as fathers feel jealous of thelr sons. Your very real affection for the baby will aelp you overcome such feelings, it any. I feel sure you'd miss the little girl almost as much as your husband would miss her. It helps to see these hidden angles of a problem when one is trying to reach an important decision. I just hope that you are a big enough and kind enough woman to decide in favor of the baby.
