Helen Help Us!
DEAR HELEN:
A woman who beta
club brings her two child
and is continuously screaming at
them. She has a very piercing
voice. How can we let her know
that she makes more noise than
her children? The rest of us
leave our kids at home with our
husbands or a sitter.—TIRED OF
IT
DEAR TIRED:
You can tell her the club is
for adults, and children aren’t
welcome. This is the forthright
way and will probably lose you
a member.
Or you can sneak up on her
with tact. Bring numerous small-
fry to the next several meetings.
Then when pandemonium doses
in, suggest an addition to the by-
laws: no children allowed. She’ll
get your message, but she can
save face by pretending it’* a
blanket indictment.—H.

Trouble is authors never say
what to do when all those sweet-

they fail so often! In their little

Big trouble with most of these
child care books is they're
’compact” for paddling purposes
(a rolled-up woman’s magazine
works better), and they’re
darn peaceful tor real life (which
as we mothers know, isn’t always
like that).
Big trouble with many of the
authors is that they've already
raised their brood. Thus the de-
tached attitude.
