MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOPD, OPE,
Fay 0. - My niece is ruin
ing her health and being un
fair to the children.
Maxin. R. It'j none of
Aunt Fay's business. We want
lots of kids.
i .
Fay O. - My niece, Maxine,
is only 25 and has six chil
dren after eight years of mar
riage. And none of them are
twins. What alarms me is that
although our religion does not
frown on birth control, and
although Maxine and her hus
band know all about it, they
just keep on having babies
without taking proper care of
the ones they have.
I think they're being reck
less and exhibitionistic at the
expense of innocent children.
Maxine says this is none of
my business, but she's wrong.
I offer my views both as her
aunt and as a social worker
who sees what happens to
youngsters who get lost in the
shuffle of a big family.
It's true her husband helps
her and they have a cleaning
woman in twice a week, but
the care of this little brood
falls mostly on Maxine, who
has neither the physical stami
na nor the emotional equip
ment that's needed to cover
the territory.
For instance, how can she
possibly know what resent
ments are forming inside
Number 3 and 5? She's too
busy wiping Number 4's nose
and bawling out Number 1
for not watching Number 6!
.
Maxin. R. - We love kids,
especially my husband who
was an only child. He grew up
in a big house that was always
quiet and when we married
he said he never wanted to be
lonely again. He wanted a
big house full of children.
Well, we have a small house
full of them and we're look
ing for a big one. Harry's in
the luggage business and
doing all right. We're not rich
but we can keep our kids in
shoes, stake them to square
meals and give them lots of
fun and loving.
My aunt visits me and all
she notices is the diapers and
the mess. She doesn't realize
that I must do what is im
portant to me, not to her. I
rest a lot. I sing to the chil
dren and play with them. She
is comparing me with the
mothers she meets in her
work who just have babies to
stay on relief. Harry and I
have them because we love
them.
As for worrying about
what's happening inside each
of my children, what good
would that do? You never
know anyway. Aunt Fay for
gets that children can speak
up and that mothers under
stand them when they do. Be
sides, in a big happy family
the kids help the parents by
bringing each other up. It's
not all up to me.
The Council: Taking sides
here is dangerous because big
families can be happy and
mall families can be miser
able. It all depends upon the
skill of the parents and their
full understanding of their
role.
But in this case we're in
clined to agree with Aunt Fay
that Maxine and Harry may
be biting off more than they
can chew. Bringing babies
into the world is the easiest
part of the job, when com
pared to the challenge of
bringing them up. Here there
is no such thing as too much
know-how, too much energy,
too much imagination, too
much devotion. Even with two
or three children, there may
be far from enough of these
essentials.
In a large family, no matter
how thin a mother spreads
herself the arrival of a new
baby means there's less of her
to go around. And maternal
deprivation, psychiatrists tell
us, is at the root of most men'
tal illness and delinquent be
havior.
Maxine's notion that the
children can bring each other
up is slip-shod evasion. Ever
watch a 7-year-old "bringing
up" a 6-year-old? It's usually
bv the roots of his hair!
In a new book from the
University of Michigan, the
sociology department a I !
agrees with Maxine's view
that people who love cnnaren
should have lots oi mem,
American mothers, they say,
are havina fewer because they
love them too much to neglect
them!
The deciding factor in fami
ly planning should be not
love alone, not finances, but
the amount of mothering
avnilahle Der child. At Max
ine's pace, there won't be
much. She can't count on rela-
tives, neighbors and teachers
to take ud the slacK properly
F.aeh child is a complex or
ganism and one can't assume
he's happv just because he's
smiling. He may merely be
biding his time to explode! He
needs patient unaersiaiiumis.
