Newspaper Page TextWe Live. ly IUZABITH HURLOCK, PH.D. mil Dr. Hurlock Women Suffer Meet From In-Law Fights It is questionable whether any marriage has ever been com pletely free from in-law prob lems, just as it is questionable rTlg?L'"M Aether any completely free from problems within the family circle. But this does not mean that a marriage is doomed to fail ure, any more than. a family is doomed to failure when prob lems arise. However, it is wise to know where problems are likely to arise and thus be on the alert for them. It is also hopeful to know how to tackle them when they do arise. and even f more helpful to know how to 'avert them or keep them from getting out of hand. Studies of In-law problems have shown that the most com mon and most serious are re lated to mother-in-law and sister-in-law relationships with the wife. A man has fewer problems with his in-laws than does a woman. When they do arise, he usually meets them more suc cessfully, because he does not magnify them nor allow them to get under his skin as a woman so often does. There is bound to be some jealousy between the wife and the female members of her hus band's family. Her mother-in-law may resent the love her son shows for his wife, or she may resent the fact that marriage has taken the son from under her roof. Instead of showing her resentment by criticizing her son, she makes the daughter-in-law her scapegoat. , Usually From Jealousy The sister-in-law problem us ually arises from jealousy. The wife is criticized by her sister- in-law especially severely if the wife has a larger trousseau than the sister-in-law did, a bigger and better furnished house, or more leisure to do what she wants, or if she is more attract ive looking. This friction is sim ilar to that between sisters, but is often stronger because the sister-in-law is an "outsider." Women would do well to fol low the example of men in meet ing the in-law problems they will find inevitable. First, they should try to be objective about them and not read meaning where no meaning was meant. They, they should accept this as a common experience, and real ize that very few wives escape some problems with their in laws. Finally, and most Important, they" should be determined to be on friendly terms with their in laws at any cost of personal feel ings. This is easier if they re member that it always takes two to make a quarrel. " LETTERS FROM READERS Mental Sloppinesi: "When a person is careless and sloppy about his appearance, does this mean that he will be the same in his mental work -as in the case of arithmetic or writing?" (A) So far as I know, no one has ever found a. relationship between physical and mental sloppiness. Some people who are the most careless about their looks are, "on the other hand, the most meticulous about their mental work. They are thor ough readers, they are extreme ly careful about their mathe matical calculations, and their handwriting is neat as the pro verbial pin. Sloppiness, In any area of one's life, comes mainly from a feeling that that area is too unimportant to receive much at tention. The sloppy-looking per son, tor example, feels that looks don't count, just as the sloppy writer feels that anyone should be able to read his handwriting and that, therefore, he can write as he pleases. Dating: "I feel that my daugh ter, who is in her junior year in high school, is missing out on the fun of school because she doesn't date. She is a star athlete and has been elected to several school offices. It doesn't seem to bother her that she has no dates." (A) What Is fun for one "per son is not necessarily fun for an other. Your daughter is getting her fun from athletics and the extracurricular activities of the school. Let her enjoy doing what she wants to do. If, however, she is unhappy because she does not have dates, then you would have cause for concern. As things now stand, I cannot see that you have any cause for concern. oia - Age Confusion: "My mother, whose mind has been failing for the past year, lives with us. She thinks I am my sisier ana calls me y her name. This upsets me." (A) If your mother's mind were clear, you might have rea son to be-upset. Knowing that her mind is failing should ex plain to you her mistake. Don't try to correct her, as this will only confuse her further and make her unhappy.
