The Family Council Editor's notai The Family Council consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist, thrco clergymen, a newspaper editor a women's editor and two writers Lacb article Is a summary of an actual report The Family Council dues not give advice; It merely reports on problems that have been dealt with by responsible agencies and counselors. MRS. K. D. My son-in-law is inconsiderate of my daughter. GALE M. Mother is right, but I can't help resenting her. MRS. K. D. I am not at all a "typical mother-in-law." I have five children, all married. I live by myself and never interfere with their lives. I do believe, however, that a mother has a right to express her opinions. The minute I open my mouth my children are down on me. My daughter, Gale, for example, throws a temper tan trum any time I point out that her husband doesn't seem to be very considerate. I've noticed that he often forgets Gale's birth day or their anniversary. In seven years, I can't think of a single time he's brought her flowers. She was brought up to pay attention to these little niceties. I know it hurts her as much as it hurts me, so I spoke to my son-in-law about it. He just laughed at me. When Gale found out about it, she was so furious she actually threw me out of her house. GALE M. I have missed very much the attentions Mother talks about, but I have always felt that my husband really loved mc and that I would somehow manage to find a way of making him understand. Now I know this can never happen. My mother has spoiled things for both of us. If my husband were to change his manner, I could not help resenting the fact that he was not responding to me but being coerced by Mother's crude criticism. Know ing him, I doubt that he will let himself be intimidated by Moth er's criticism. Until now, my husband's oc casional thoughtlessness was not a serious problem to me because I understood that I must not ex aggerate its importance. Now it rankles more than ever, since I know that Mother has built a wall of awkward feeing between us. She had no right to throw her criticism between us. THE COUNCIL: This moth er and daughter have to face some startling facts. The first one is that Mother is not right as Gale believes. She is dead wrong. Gifts and little considerations are very nice when they are a natural expression of affection, but they are not tributes to be expected. There need be no re sentment if they don't come. Dif ferent people have different ways of expressing affection. Jim apparently doesn't express his affection in "little niceties," yet Gale doesn't appear to doubt his love. Since these things mean so Kiwanian Dames To Hold Meeting At Moreland Home Kiwanian Dames will meet at 12 noon Tuesday, October 23, at the home of Mrs. W. J. More land, 123 Vancouver avenue. Luncheon hostesses are to be Mrs. Milo Kubalek, Mrs. Don P. McNeil, Mrs. George Ketch um, Mrs. Al Dumas and Mrs. W. R. Mitchell. All members are asked to bring the doll clothing they have made for "Kiwani Ann." A social afternoon, w it h bridge and canasta, is planned to follow the business meeting. All Kiwanian wives are in vited and reservation may be made by calling Mrs. John Pletsch, telephone 2-8116. Those who wish transportation are to call Mrs. Milo Kubalek, 2-8196, or Mrs. Thomas C. Anderson, 2-5616. much to her, however. Gale had the responsibility of tipping her husband off to this fact. Instead, she harbored it in her heart, holding a secret grudge against him. She is copying her mother in hiding anger and hostility be neath a "nice" exterior. Drops of Poison Mrs. K. D. likes to think of all her intentions as good ones. But she puts little drops of poison in the marriage relationship. She had no right to speak to her son-in-law about a matter that con cerned only himself and his wife. Gale should not feel guilty at resenting her mother's action. In this case, she was entirely justi fied. This mother and daughter can be friends if Mrs. K. D. tries to curb her impulse to hurt and interfere and Gale remains aware of a malicious tendency within her mother. Mrs. K. D. undoubtedly has good qualities too, and Gale must learn to dis tinguish. She can accept and love the good in her mother and try not to be swayed by the bad.
