Even the erarchy are vacating the wilding. Soon it will be only his devoted writer who will emain, still tapping out the ords her public demands each eek, Actually I think it is a sub- onscious attempt to stay away em home. Friday evening is a ad time at our house and I ould suppose it is a bad time any home where there is one r more teenagers. Friday night is a night to owl. It is a time to throw up ne's hands and enjoy life. It is time to forget books., usehold tasks, duties of all Napes and forms, and live, ye, live. The evening begins early ery, very early. In fact, 6:30 is of too soon to get out of the ouse and on with the frivolity. trangely enough, it does not ecessarily follow that one omes home earlier if one ayes earlier but then, either does it happen that the urfew is extended if the son or aughter leaves home later in he evening so in that espect, all is equal. Now that one of our eenagers is a driver, the car aturally is required on Friday vening, Goodness gracious yes. low did he ever get around efore that set of wheels was ,ut under him? And every Friday evening it the same hassle. "Where are you going?" we sk. "I'm not sure," he replies. "Then how do you know you eed the car?" we ask, At this Dint, communications break own. Really and truly, our son is uite responsible about his uties as a driver. Why, then, o we feel concerned when he sks to take the family Independent Shipper to United Co-operative of Ontario Livestock Dept Toronto Ship Your Livestock with Roy Scotchmer Monday is Shipping Day From Varna Stockyard CALL BAYFIELO 565.2636 By 7:30 a.m. Monday For Prompt Service No Charges on Pick•up tf BY SHIRLEY J. KILLER automobile on a Friday evening? Is it strictly unfoun- ded parental fear cropping up or is it that neither father nor mother can forget this is the same lad we diapered And sponged, kissed when he fell off his tricycle and thrashed soundly for exceeding the hounds with his two-wheeler? Funny thing, too. We know from the beginning on Friday evening that our son will be allowed to take the car. There is really no reason for us to deny him that pleasure? Then why do we question and probe? Are we trying to keep the upper hand or do we really expect some problems to develop each time he has the car? You tell me. The next thing is funds. Now I might as well tell you that our children seldom ask for spen- ding money. If they don't earn it they just don't get it. Just how we established that firm rule I don't really understand but both of our teenagers have accepted that premise and seldom - if ever - ask for money to go out on a Friday evening. And would you believe that concerns me? Would you believe that while I'm not in favor of handing out money to children willy-nilly, I am sin- cerely concerned when they have earned sufficient money to do something truly exciting on a Friday evening, That's why there's ‘,,he problem about funds. "Have you got money?" we ask the kids. "Yep." they reply. "What are you going to do this evening?" we question, hoping to get an indication of the amount of money they ac- tually have, If it is a movie or a hockey game, we feel safe. If it is a trip out of town, we're concerned, If it is nothing more than a call at the local beanery for a coffee, we're torn to keep from han- ding them the additional funds required to see a movie or go to a hockey game. It isn't the decisions on a Friday evening. It is merely the concern we feel when our teenagers leave the house in search of fun and relaxation, They are out of our reach and we want to keep them somewhat in our reach by knowing their every move and approving of it if possible It r is '7 6o. . i.:06:and the column is about finished. All I've actually done this week is to throw my problems on your shoulders • and avoid another half hour of the Friday night worry watch. Oh well, curfew time is still in our power.
