Each article Is a summary of an actual report The Familv ( ouncil does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have deen dealt with by responsible agencies and counselor. Sunday, September 22, 1937 Jenny F. We should kick father out. Mrs. R. F. I have learned to tolerate him. Ralph F. Women make me sick. Jenny F. We have a terrible problem in my family. It'i about my father. He doesn't work all the time. Half the time he just sits and loafs around the house or goes to the race track. I am 14, and the oldest in the family, so it's very embarrassing to me. My kid brother and sister are too young to see how awful it looks. These things have gotten so bad that my father and I never speak to each other any more that is, we speak sometimes, but only to yell at each other and fight. My mother works. She doesn't say anything to my father, either just gives him dirty looks. I don't see what we need my father for, anyway. I tell my mother we should kick him out. I would work part time until I get out of high school and then I could go to work full time and my mother could quit. Mother says she doesn't want to break up the family. Mrs. R. F. Between Jenny and my husband, I am at my wit's end to know what to do. My husband makes a good salary when he works. His work is seasonal. Other men get jobs to tide them over these .layoffs, but he simply refuses. Just the same we are better off than we would be if he were gone. I have learned to tolerate my husband, but Jenny makes things really impossible by carrying on as she does. Ralph has been patient with her, but I don't know how long that will last. Ralph F. When I got hooked Into marriage. I told my wife the kind of life I wanted to live. Maybe I'm lazy. So what? I like to take it easy on the layoffs. I work plenty hard in season. My wife said okay, if I that's the way I felt about it, she'd go to work. But she start ed in with those dirty looks and then Jenny got started hen pecking me. Women make me sick. The Council: This family needs some total rehabilitation to pre vent serious damage to all of the children as well as to pro vide a little more happiness for both husband and wife. Obviously more than marital 'hooks" and "dirty looks'' have kept Ralph and his wife to gether all these years. Things have deteriorated so badly how ever, that they have forgotten they have a need for one an other and many positive warm feelings. They need to acknowl edge this to themselves and to one another before they can make any sensible readjust ments. Ralph should recognize that marriage is more than a burden. He wasn't helpless when he "got hooked." There were many things he wanted and a family was not the least of them. He should recognize that he must make certain sacrifices for the sake of the family he produced His daughter wants to love and admire him and he can gain much from that love and admira tion. He must somehow show her he is worthy of both. On the other hand, Mrs. R. F should realize that her attitude has more to do with Jenny's loss of love for her father than anything else. If she had quietly accepted his behavior and show ed in word and deed that she loved and respected her hus band. Jenny would have been able to keep her warm and nec essary regard for her father whether or not he loafed. The R. F.'s should make an effort to bring about a change in their feelings and attitudes and could probably be helped by some discussion with a clergyman or a social worker connected with a reliable agency.
