Why Can’t Mothers Let Their Married Children
& Run Their Own Lives? Cries One of Victims
" of Maternal Interference; Will a
Dear Dorothy Dlx-Twenty years ago when we were married my hus
band and I were very much in love with each other. very congenial and had
every prospect of happiness. Now we have lost interest in each other, have
nothing in common and have settled down io an en
durance of marriage Neither one of us has done any
thing wrong We sre just alienated from each other
and I blame this state of ai.'Isirs on our respective
mothers
My mother had been domineered over by my
father, so she urged me not to let my husband rule
me, not to trust him, to spend all the money I want-
ed and keep him working hard; not to let him run'
with the boys, etc. I thought she knew and I follow-
ed her advice. She killed my faith in my liusbandl
ans caused me is be suspicious and in do the things `
that must have made me very hard to live with. _
mother began by disliklng me simply because I had mar-
ried her son, and she, too, advised. lhe told my husband never to let me ‘
know what his income was, never to consult me in business, never to give
me any money of my own, never to consider my pleasure in anything and to
make me give an account of many lnconiings and outgoings, and always to
remember that he was the head of the house and that I must obey him.
I feel that our mothers have mined our happiness and that they have
made a breach between us that would riot have been there but for the:-n.‘
Why cant mothers keep their hands of! and let their married children run
their own lives? R. E. L.
\ nm
Answer:
_ I don’t know. Perhaps it is because mothers never realise that their
children are grown-up and are capable of inanaging their own affairs. Per-
.haps it is the meddling instinct that is inherent in most women and that
fmakes it impossible for them to keep their fingers out of other people‘s pies.
-Perhaps it is the mlilsh desire of every mother to see her own child be the
little tin god in s marriage and enslave the party of the other part.
,‘ Most likely it is just mother jealousy that strikes out blindly at the one
who has taken her child from her, but any way it happens, it is true that
(mothers are oftener the heads oi’ the home-wrecking crews than they are
_'the captains of the salvage corps, and that nine times out ol' ten the vnwt
fdancei-ous advice inet any yoiqg riiQierl couple can take is that :lvrn by
'their mothers. '
‘- No one can explain why s woman who loves hcl' children and desires
ite see them happy will urge them to do the very things that she knows will
lbring disaster upon them. Probably not one woman in 10,000 wants her child-
iren to live in e perpetual right with their husbands and wives, or wants their
fhomes broken up and thcm divorced and their children half-orphaned. Yet
untless mothers do everything ln their power to bring down these mis-
,goortunes on their ch1ldi'en's heads and when they fail it is just the mercy of
Bod, and not for lack of their own evil influences.
i but tells daughter not to give in and advises son not to lei any woman run
_‘ It is the rare mother who turns the spotlight on her sen-in-law's vir- ov
tues instead of his faults; who urges her daughter to greater eiiorts to please
E11- husband and reminds her that there must be give and take in marriage;
, ocounsels her daughter to _be a good housekeeper and ii. thrifty manager

As s matter of fact, many of these happy-go-lucky chaps cari't settle
down to any serious work because they are poor weakllngs without the
strength of character to stand up and fight the battle of life. They lack
purpose and stability and a sense of responsibility. They are parasites, not
sturdy oaks. They are playboys, not real men.
'I‘hey are poor things for a woman to lean on because they always isil
her in her need. They are' the sort of men who are always out of a Job,
and whose families are always on the ragged edge of want. They make the
sort of husbands who are off on a wild party when the baby is born, and
who drag their families around the country in battered ilivvcrs following
some will-o’-the-wisp of fortune that they never catch up with. _
_-_»__A_
The world is full of wretched women who have married men who prom-
ised to be different after marriage; of wives who are still fishing the drunk-
ards out of the gutter who were going to be sober after marriage; of wives
who are taking in washing to support the na'er-do-wells who were going to
work after marriage; of wives who are still chasing the rounders who were
going to settle down after marriage.
Isn’t it about time for women to learn sense enough to marry men who
are what they want in a husband before marriage, instead of marrying men
who promise to be different aft/er marriage? DOR0f1'l!Y D13.

Dear Miss Dix-Do you think a married man really loves his wife if he
makes love to her most intimate woman friend? WONDERING.
Answer: .
No. If s man loves his 'wife, he doesn't need any other woman to make
love to. She suffices. If a msn loves his wife, he will not hurt and insult
her by having an `aUair with her friend. DOROTHY DIX.
