As We Live
DON'T MAKE AN ISSUE OF
MOTHER-IN-LAW'S VISITS
(Q) "This is my second mar
riage of two years' duration. Be
fore I married I told my husband-to-be
I wanted to live alone
with him and my son by my
former marriage. He agreed to
this. He has a widowed mother
and brother who live together.
The brother has a Job that takes
him out of town now and then.
The other day, my husband in
formed me that his mother would
come to slay with us when his
brother was out of town. Don't
you think he should have dis
cussed this matter with me first?
I like his mother but I don't like
this arrangement. His mother is
( person of means and, under the
circumstances, I can't see that
this is necessary. Plenty of. moth
ers stay alone at night and make
no issue of it. I might add that
my husband is completely under
his mother's influence."
(A) It would have been fairer
to you if your husband had dis
cussed this matter with you be
fore making
arrangements
But, as he did
not you will
be wise not to
make an issue
of it.
T.ell him
however, that
you do not
want these vis
its to lead to e
Dr. Hurlock
permanent liv
ing arrangement, should the
brother decide to marry and go
to a home of his own. Remind
him of his promise about this.
Then be agreeable and gracious.
It is never wise for an older
person to stay alone in a house,
especially at night. In case of ill
ness or accident, she would be
completely helpless. I can readi
ly understand how your husband
feels about this matter. If it gives
him peace of mind to know that
his mother is well taken care of,
that should be ample reward for
the trouble or inconvenience her
visits cause.
Surely you must have known
before you married him, that he
was "completely under his moth
er s influence. Such things do
not develop overnight nor can
they be hidden from outsiders.
And, knowing that she was a
widow, it must have been inevit
able that this would eventually

Not Being Fair
Your husband was not being
completely fair to you by making
arrangements without your con

a firm stand and see that her
visits are merely visits, not a
