Crater Peot U Store 2nd and Pine Sts. Central Point, Oregon Bob R. My working wife re cftnti Hninty hniispwnrk Lillian R. I can't live up to the standard set by his first wife. Bob R. I was a widower un til recently, when I married a divorcee in her early 30s. I hava two children 16 and 14 years old. My wife and I both work and the children are quite inde pendent. Their mother trained them to take care of their own things and cooperate around the house. There is really very little for my wife to do, yet she seems to resent doing the little there is. She says a working woman should not be required to do housework. Yet I am a working man and put in far more hours than she does at her 9 to 5 job, and when I come home I do much of the heavy cleaning. My first wife was thrifty and efficient, a wonderful homemak er and manager. She never com plained about the amount of work there was to do. Maybe I expect too muchK but I can't help feeling disappointed that Lillian shows so little interest in our home. Lillian R. Of course, I could never expect to live ud to the standard set by Bob's first wife. tviaently she was the world s most perfect woman. Just the same, Bob should realize that she had nothing to do but' to take care of the home. In my first marriaee I didn't have to work and I had some domestic helD as well. Mv hus band didn't exDect me to nre- pare big family dinners as Bob aoes. we went out to dine on Sundays and sometimes during the week too. My hours ma V Tint, hp InniT but my job is a hard one.

Stanley of Areata, Calif. rive home completely exhausted. I prepare a simple dinner and help the children clean up. Then, there is always some mending or personal laundry. On week ends I feel I have a right to sleep late and go out for a little fun. Bob is a lot stronger than I am and the heavy housework doesn't take anything out of him, where as I would be exhausted. The Council: The question of who does how much housework would not be nearly so important to Bob or Lillian, if each felt the other was sincerely content in their home and married life. It is quite clear that neither Bob nor Lillian is at all content. Bob states he is "disappointed that Lillian shows so little inter est in our home." This is the crux of the problem. Evidently he does not mind contributing his share of work, but is upset about his wife's resentment at having to do anything at all in connection with making the home more pleasant. Bob's comparison of Lillian with his first wife is not helping matters and may have gotten them off on the wrong foot from the start. Lillian has made up her mind that she can "never expect to live up to the standard set by Bob s first ' wife and seems to have decided she will not even try to bring any of her energy, toward creating a new home and family life with Bob and his children. She repeats Bob's mistake by comparing life with her first husband to life with him. Yet that first marri age, could not have been so happy or it would not have end ed in divorce. Bob and Lillian need to meet each other half way: first, in dropping forever futile and dis tasteful comparisons with their first mates; second, in agreeing upon a reasonable plan for their life together.
