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

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.
