I've always tried to be optimistic in the face of a new year and to look ahead with a sure hope for the future, This year it is different , , much different, I'm living with two teenagers in my household and I know that things won't get better but I pray — yes, readers, I Utterly pray — that things won't get much worse in 1971. I've read all that hogwash about parents being masters over their children and I really believe my husband and I still have the unoer hand with .our kids. But the battle is wearing me down and making my life a living hell — and my wish for the new year is enough strength to wage the eternal war between my kids and • me . . . and enough faith in myself to keep on believing that what I am fighting for is still worth all the tears, sleepless nights, headaches and frustration. I come from the school which promotes dependability and fosters maturity. In other words, I don't like to browbeat my kids into submission. I would far rather guide them along each step of the way, wincing while they make their errors and always available to point them back to the middle road. I try to think one step ahead of them (a rather neat trick), anticipate their next moves and build up a natural resistance within them to those pitfalls by injecting them regularly with some rather sobering thoughts sprinkled here and there through the conversation over a morning cup of coffee or a dishwashing session, And every year — what am I THE SEPARATE SHOPPE Main Corner, Clinton JANUARY CLEARANCE SALE BLOUSES — SKIRTS PANTS — ,TOPS ACCESSORIES Open 2-6 Closed Wed. A cl e tra slate my eye finding that while they are making more and more mature decisions they are making more and more adult mistakes. The Kahle= aren't as simple to sidestep any more . . and they are not as easily explained away as they used to be. When they were four and five years old, you could tell them not to throw stones at the neighbor kids because you could hurt them badly if you happened to catch them in a vulnerable spot like an eye or a temple, But how do you explain to a teenager, that a damaged reputation or a marred record is even more painful — especially if the person injured is oneself through thoughtless deeds and meaningless associations with the wrong people. It is a fairly simple matter to weedle a child into pielting up his toys through the somewhat obvious hoax about him being such a big man and helping mammy so very, very much that she wouldn't know what to do without hint. , But just how do you motivate a teenager into constructive activity when all he wants to do is laze around for the major portion of his life and avoid any situations which may even remotely involve him in the community outside, his select circle of 'friends. You can take a little tyke up on your knee and assure him be is loved arid feel his warm little arms around, your neck in rewarding response, to yoer tenderness, but hQW do Yen convince a teenager that parental love isn't turned op end off like a valve on when you permit some special concession and off when you say no to some other request. I guess it is fairly obvious that I'm up-tight" as the kids say, ahout this whole thing, Maybe that's because I'm presently depressed and disheartened by the display of apathy and downright non-preductivity in the kids with whom I'm constantly in contact , including my own, Maybe your kids' are different. Maybe you have teenagers in your home who are bubbling over with enthusiasm to experience every single facet of life; and proceeding cautiously and intelligently toward a final goal. If that's the way it is at your house, begin 1971 with alight, heart and hope in your breast. But at our house, things just aren't that rosy and the battle wages on — parents agin kids until I think I'll go mad. Happy New Year. Ha. Ha. Ha. held their Christmas party on December 17.
