As We Live By ELIZABETH HURLOCK, PH.D. EVERYONE NEEDS SOME SOCIAL LIFE After working all day, many men have no interest in going out in the evenings. Here is a letter from a woman who feels the same way: (Q) "When my husband was alive. I used to get provoked at him for not wanting to go nnt in K a ... . .. - '1 e v e n i n gs when I had been at home all day and wanted a change. Now, as a widow, I am faced with the same problem that he was. My Water Forecast for Harney Basin Shows Short Supplies Due awl ifw Dr. Hurlock mother, who !e in he? sivtioc. lives with me. My two chil dren are away; one is mar ried and the ether is taking a nurses's training course. I have a job that keeps mo out of the home from 8 o'clock in the morning until nearly 6 at night. "When I get home I am tired, and there are so many .things to be done, as every woman who has a home knows. I welcome a quiet evening. My mother, on the other hand, is in the house all day, except for shopping and a few errands in the neigh borhood. She always wants to go somewhere and do some thing in the evenings. I might add that her home was not here and she knows very few people. Of course I want Mother to be happy and en joy herself, but how can I cope with a job and social life too?" (A) It is hard to try to work and be out night after night. However, an occasional break during the week would be good for you. You need the recrea tion. If you mother Is well enough to take care of the home and go out in the evenings, couldn't you suggest tactfully that she do some of the things you us ually do in the evenings so you would be free to take her out? Even more important, why not get her interested in some of the church and community organizations where she would meet women of her own age? If she makes some friends in your community, that will help to solve the problem of giving her entertainment. You could have some of the women her age come to your home. Or you could send her in a taxi to their homes while you stayed at home and rested. Don't penalize your mother now while she is well enough to en joy the last years of her life, even if it means sacrifices for you. As a special service to our readers.
