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.
