TALL CACTUS - Mrs. Raymond Senesac of Manteno, 111.,
has a cactus plant that just doesn't know when to stop.
She and her husband purchased the cactus planted in a
ceramic cat In Arizona during their honeymoon about 13
years ago. It was one inch high then. Now the cactus
measures 49 inches tall and is only three-quarters of an
Inch in diameter at the base. Mrs. Senesac has nver taken
It out of the original pot. (UPI Telephoto)
The Family Council
Editor's Note: Ths Family Council eonslsti of a Judge, a psychia
trist, three clercymen, three editors and a women's editor. Each article
Is a summary of an actual case history. The Council reports on
problems that haTt been dealt with by responsible agencies and
counselors.
Gina C. - They make me
babysit, no matter what I've
planned.
Mn. T. C. - She should be
glad to see us go out for a
change.
Gina C. - I'm 13 and my
parents make me babysit for
my kid sister any time they
get it into their heads to step
out. It never occurs to them
that I might have some plans.
. They never ask me if I'll
stay in and mind Margie.
They just tell me. "Take care
of Margie. We're going out."
Margie is 6 and we have lots
of fun when I'm in the mood.
; Believe me, I wasn't in the
mood the other night and I
took it out on Margie. I was
furious. I was supposed to
meet my girl friend and go
to the "Y" for folk-dancing.
Out of a clear sky, my mother
aid, "Dad's waiting for me
downtown. He has a pass for
the movies. Put Margie to
bed and finish the kitchen."
My girl friend was disap
pointed too. She wanted to
stay with me but I told her
to go ahead and tell me all
bout it later. I was tempted
to dress Margie again and
take her along. That's how
badly I wanted to go. Instead,
1 dumped Margie into bed
and didn't even read to her
the way I always do.
They'll all have to learn I
have some feelings too.
Mrs. T. C. - Gina knows
we don't have money to spend
on babysitters. For years my
husband and I stayed home
to take care of her and her
baby sister. She was so proud
the first time we left her in
charge of Margie. She was a
real little mother to that
child.
Suddenly she is sulking
about minding Margie. She
only wants to get away. It's
such a change because she
always adored the baby.
There's seven years between
them and. from the beginning,
Gina said Margie was her
baby, not ours. She played
with her for hours.
What does she expect me
to do, pay three or four dol
lars every time we go out?
We give Gina a fair allow
ance and why shouldn't she
do her share and earn it?
Now that she has a chance
to give us a little freedom,
you'd think she'd be happy
about It. Instead she seems
to begrudge us our evenings
off.
Th Council: Beneath the
gurface of this argument, we
see the fabric of a devoted
family which can surely work
o)it this problem of the fair
apportionment of time off.
Evidently the C.'s haven't
yet moved along to see Gina
as an individual in her own
right, not just as a daughter
and sister. She can no longer
be "assigned" as a possession
or inanimate thing. While
Gina respects her parents'
wishes and orders, the miss
ing ingredient here seems to
be her parents' respect for
her new teenage status.
Gina's plans are important.
So is her parents' need for
recreation. Tackled as a fam
ily enterprise, the question of
who stays home with Margie
can be answered with some
loving give-and-take and sym
pathetic flexibility.
Incidentally, Mrs. C. men
tions allowance and implies
that Gina earns it, in part, by
babysitting for her parents.
This puts a rather crass face
on what should be a labor of
love, a contribution to family
solidarity. Salary for services
rendered is one thing and it
can come from any employer.
Allowance is another matter
and is tangible evidence of a
child's share in the family's
affairs, and of faith in his
ability to handle money. As
a usual practice, there is
something demeaning in pay
ing a daughter to babysit for
her own sister.
Yes, Gina now has new
plans, new moods - as she
admits - and new feelings
about her family. Taken with
understanding and a sense of
humor, these can strengthen
the ties that bind them. She
needs the ties, but she's ask
ing that they change from
ribbon to clastic.
Nights out for all? Of
course, but with Gina's par
ents still in charge, only glad
to meet Gina halfway most
of the time.
