the
Sup-
Here is a letter from a woman
not yet forty who writes:
"There are so many articles
about the plight of the woman
whose children are grown and
gone from home and her main
job in life already done.
"But sometimes the problem of
loneliness and feeling useless ex-
cept as a cook and housekeeper
comes when one's children are still
at home.
"That is what happened to me. i
My youngest child is in junior high i
and my oldest is a senior in high I
school. They arc so busy with
their own affairs that about all
they seem to need me for is as a i
cook, laundress, housekeeper, and
settler of arguments.
"Their father is so busy with his 1
work, his hobbies, and his men's I
organizations that, he has almost
no time for me or the children.
"So I am left sitting alone on a
| aboul it."
| There is only one thing you can
I do, and that is to start building
some kind of life of your own. The
rest of your family are busy and
j happy because they have done just
' that.
They have left you "sitting," but
you don't have to sit unless you
I want to. So start thinking about
the things you used to which you
could do when the children were
small and you had no time for
yourself. Then start doing them.
Don't give in to feeling sorry for
yourself because you don't feel as
needed as you once did. And at
all costs resist the temptation to
try to make your family feel sor-
ry for "poor Mother," who is left
sittin galone.
You have a chance now to grow
and develop your own interests.
Don't waste it in self-pity. ' All
