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

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.
