DEAR DR BLAKER -
When I went back to work
after 15 years of staying
home with the children. I
knew I was going to have
problems with my husband.
But I never expected such
frustration!
We discussed the change
for several months before I
took the job It seemed as
though everything would
work out fine.
Although he admitted it
would be hard to do things he
had never done around the
house, he agreed it would be
only fair to split the work.
His reassurance must have
lulled me into complacency
I never thought anything
more about it and concen-
trated on getting my job
Now that I am employed,
we have serious problems
that need to be resolved. He
promised to cook dinner
twice a week, vacuum and
do the laundry
But on his nights to cook,
we always go out to eat
because he doesn’t have
anything planned He gets
our oldest son to vacuum.
And try as he might, he just
can’t seem to get the hang of
washing and drying the
clothes The simple concept
of separating the white and
colored clothes seems to
elude his brilliant Harvard-
educated (Law School, ’63)
mind.
It must be obvious that my
patience is about gone. The
only way to save our mar-
riage is for me to give up and
do the jobs myself.
DEAR READER — Al-
though your solution may
alleviate current tensions, it
in person!

Instead, put your anger
aside for a moment and
consider your husband’s sit-
uation. Isn't it possible that
he really may feel inade-
quate trying to do the very
jobs he has been devaluing
over the years He may be
trying to avoid asking you
for help
Give him the benefit of the
doubt Offer some guidance
Don't just sit back and
watch him fail.
Remember how frustrat-
ing it was when you first
tried to get everything ready
to put on the table at the
same time? It took practice
and then it began to look
simple.
First prepare some
dinners together Then offer
encouragement on his early
solo efforts This may actu-
ally be the only way to save
your marriage.
If this approach does not
work, however, you will be
forced to consider the possi-
bility that he is manipulat-
dng you with a technique
’often called planned incom-
petence. It occurs when an
unwilling worker purposely
fails at a job in order to have
it taken out of his hands.
If this is your husband’s
game, any attempt to save
the marriage will probably
be doomed.

space lab
SPACE CENTER,
Houston (AP) - America’s
85-ton Skylab, wobbling in a
dangerous path around the
earth since July 6, may be a
step closer to getting back
into a minimum drag at-
titude that will keep it from
prematurely plunging back
to the ground
Scientists at Johnson
Space Center were con-
tinuing a series of
maneuvers today designed
ultimately to return the huge
satellite to the orbital at-
titude or position it held prior
to July 8 when a power
failure on board caused it to
spin out of control.
Controllers have tried
since then to stop the giant
space lab from its erratic
movement.
JSC spokesman Charles
Redmond said an
overheating problem aboard
the craft caused one of two
sets of batteries to lose
power, shutting down the
three gyroscopes.
Scientists hoped to com-
plete starting up the gyros
today and prepare for the
first of several commands
designed to return the craft
to proper attitude.
When the gyros reach 86
per cent full power, Red-
mond said, and the space lab
becomes properly aligned
with all solar panels facing
the sun, controllers will give
the craft a command to hold
jts position.__________________
