Gilbert G.-Dad's just trying
to prove he's boss.
Mr. K. G.-One night a week
is enough for him to have
the car.
Gilbert G.-I had my 17th
birthday last week and I got
my driver's license. The only
problem now is the car.
My father says I can have
it once a week. Naturally, I
want it for the week end, but
now and then things come up
during the week and I really
tippH it Mv eirl friend and
I belong to a photography
club, for example, and i a
likf to drive her to and from
the mid-week meeting. If I
use the car then Ive got to
rive it ud for the week end.
Dad is being silly about
this thing. He'd rather leave
the car standing in the garage
anH have me get around any
old way just to prove he's
boss.
Mr. K. G.-Last time I took
inventory I noticed Gilbert
had two perfectly healthy
Ipps. With these he can walk
lour blocks to his girl's home
and get the bus on the corner.
The last bus gets back at her
corner at midnight and I
think that's late enough for
her on a week-day night.
Gil claims he's going to
lose his girl if he can't take
her around in style. Frankly,
I think she's better lost. I
have never liked her and feel
she makes too many demands
on Gil. We feel she is behind
his nagging about the car.
However, my wife is sym
pathetic toward Gil and
thinks I'm making too much
of an issue about this.
The Council: Gilbert is a
mighty lucky fellow to have
a father ready to go out of
his way to "prove he's boss."
He should be aware that
many fathers far more lenient
on the car issue act out of
disinterest, confusion about
the "right" thing to do, dislike
of being annoyed about fam
ily matters and weakness of
backbone. It's a rare father
these days who is perfectly
clear in his own mind about
his role in the home and what
he expects of his children.
We don't favor a return to
the old-fashioned erim and
rigid father who was feared,
and nerhaDS hated, by his
children. But understanding
and justice make a good com
bination. The fact that Gil
bert has the car once a week
indicates he gets a reasonable
amount of consideration at
home. And the fact that he
feels free to argue a point
shows that his father at least
gives his case a hearing.
Gilbert's mother should also
be grateful that, her husband
is the kind of man who is
ready to take his full respon
sibility in this matter'. She is
lucky to be able to say, "Your
father told you and that's
that." If she feels that Gilbert
is being treated unfairly or
that she wants to plead his
cause for some special occa
sion she should do it in pri
vate. There is every advan
taee in presenting a united
front to the children.
Mr. K. G. also appears to
be on the right track in tak
ing a step to prevent his son's
getting into the habit of feel
ing he must give in to every
demand made by an aggres
sive girl. Gilbert will find that
some very nice girls will like
him for himself well enough
to go out with him car or
no car. This in itself will be
a valuable lesson in living.
