Tlil go, how we are to get there, what time were are to leave the dance and when we are to arrivi at the restaurant for a bite. That should take about an hour, they say, and then we should be home within 15 minutes. I don't mind having Wendy home by a partic ular time, but I hate all these stipulations. Then when we come home, Wendy's mother . father is up waiting. Sometimes they have fixed some sandwiches or a hot drink for us. It's very nice of mem, but we could do it our selves. I think they should trust us and Wendy should tell them so. Wendy P. I know my par ents are annoying, but I feel that I should put up ,ith it while I am at home. I don't want to hurt their feelings. Pretty soon I'll be going to college and then I'll be on my own I understand how Bernard feels because sometimes when they start all that planning I feel like just screaming, but if I can take it, I don't see why he can't. I don't think it's very nice of him to complain to me about my par ents. ! The reason my parents treat me the way they do is because I am an only daughter. I have two yoanger brothers, but they don't go out yet, so my parents don't understand about teen-agers and how they like to be treated. My ! parents tre very good to me and ' I don't feel I have any right to complain about a few minor ; things. i ! The Council: Wendy is right ! that it was not "very nice" of j Bernard to complain to her ; about her parents. If Bernard ; does not like the setup he en counters when he dates Wendy, he should change girls. If he likes Wendy so much that he does not want to make a change, he ought to grin and bear minor inconveniences, like parents. Wendy should, however, look into her own attitude toward her parents. In some ways, she is quite understanding in oth ers, she is not. She is exception ally condescending toward them. She finds them "annoying" and sometimes feels like screaming, but she is willing to- "put up with it" because she will soon be free of them. In short, Wendy treats her parents like children who need to be appeased, but whose un derlying attitudes need to be taken seriously Evidently her parents do not realize this be cause on the. surface Wendy is very well behaved and loyal. . For her own sake, and for her parents'. Wendy ought to do them the honor of thinking of them as her equals. If she does not like certain things they say, or their' attitudes orr particular subjects, she should tell them so. It can be done without "screaming" jnd it will not hurt their feelings, as she believes. If Wendy tells her parents how she feels, they may possibly revise their behavior and be come less annoying, or they may Rogue Elk Group Sponsors Lessons Rogue Elk Home Extension unit will sponsor a series of public meetings on which les sons on family business and law will be given.
