Wisejs the Woman Who Does Not Let Her Love for Children Blast Their Every Prospect for the Better Things 1n Life The greatest misfortune that can happen to any child is to have an overly devoted mother, for mother love can curse as well as bless. Many a man and woman can blame their mothers’ unwise affection for their failures and their wrecked and miserable lives. It is the custom to glorify mother love and to asume that it 1s one of the 800d things that cannot be overdone but, in real- ity, it is better for a, child to have a. mother who does not love it enough than it is to have one who loves it to death. It is unwise mother love that smothers out all initiative in children and makes them weaklings who never learn to stand on their - own feet. Mother babies her youngsters until she forces n perpetual infancy‘ upon them. She waits on them hand and foot and works lici" fingers to the bone t0 keep them from any ' She saves them from every hardship and every responsibility, and as a. result when they grow up and go out into a world that is not soft- padded with mother love they are lost. They can't. hold their own in the brittle of life. They can't take it. And they just throw up their hands and quit. “E cr o c. ivhen you see a husky half-grown boy playing ball for exercise while Mother brings in the coal or cuts the grass, or Mother washing the dishes so that Mamie can keep her hands nianlcurad, you don't need to be a. girl who will never get anywhere in the world because they will always give up a job when the sledding gets hard. It is the overloving mother who rears up the anti-social men and women who never fit into life somehow. They are never popular, They never belong to the crowd. The girls never have any dates; The boys inability to make friends is a handicap to them. vvvvvvvvVvvTvVVTVYVvvvvvv vvvvvvv ‘,Vrvvwv YWYVY - :.:----::--"..vr-"" SEPTEMB-ER 2s. 19st, c, vvw~v And it is all because mother loved them so jealously that she could not. bear to have them interested in anybody but herself, or to care for anybody but herself. when you hear a mother say that she is her children's best friend, that she plays with them and goes with them every- where and is their only companion, pity the poor youngsters who are not only being deprived of the chief joy of childhood, but who also are being made aliens to their own generation. And a greater wrong than that nobody can commit against another. It is the overloviiig mothers who are at. the bottom of nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages and divorces. Two mothers raise two spoiled brats who are utterly selfish and know no law except their own wills. When they marry and their desires conflict they fight like cat and dog. From the time John was born Mother has been his abject slave and spent her entire life catering to his ivhirris. She never dreamed of such a thing as crossing him or denying him anything that it was possible to get for him. He idled his way through college while she and his father scrimped and saved and worked to supply him with money for parties and a sports automobile. ‘ The girl's mother brought hcr up in the same way; to be selfish and extravagant, to have everybody kowtow to her and give her the best of everything, and to put up meekly with her insolerice. And, having utter- ly unflttcd her daughter for marriage, Mother expected her to make a success of it. The grievance that half of the young people who get div- orces have against each other is that their husbands and wives didn't con- tinue to spoil them as their mothers did. Then there is the possessive mother who loves her children so frantic- ally that she cannot bear to give them up and who sacrifices them to her desireto keep them with, her. All of us know talented boys and girls whose mothers have shut the door of opportunity in their faces because they could not stand the thought of their going to a. distant city or o. foreign land Where fortune beckoned, so they doomed the ambitious young people to stay on the old farm and eke out a miserable existence, or to stand behind a counter in the village drug store and concoct ice cream sodas when they should have been making fante an dfortune for them- selves. And we all know the posensivo mothers who will not permit. their children to marry and set. up homes of their own. We have seen the sour old maids and daslcatcd old bachelors, the broken heart-s and ruined lives that have been the price of mother love, and we have thought that it was a crueler thing that hate. Wise is the woman who does not let her love for her children become an obsessing passion that blasts them. DORUIT-IY DIX, "Flora—-Flora—” Rand's voice said plucatingly. “Don't just say my name that way!" Flora protested sharply. “You're not. fooling me! You're in love with her!" Page trembling and strangely frightened, sat perfectly still. She couldn't help hearing. It wasn't her fault that they hadn't seen hcr, but there was something in Flora"s tone that made her Nraid.
