DkAlt ANN LANDERS:
11.x?pe I'm not 0,9 latec, to get in
on the 'h-ouhaha created. by.
those selpitylrig mothers who
are crying all over themselves
because alai kids don't pick up
• the phone and say, "How are
you?"
ton't (hose Moms understand
what they are up t? Don't they
realize the reason they are
"dying to hear the kid's voice" is
because they need proof that
hey did a good job? They are
saying, "Tell me.you love me so
I'll know I haven't failed."
My first child recently
.• married and left home. 1 am
'gad. The others will be leaving
soon and I'll be glad when they
go, too. I gave them all my time
and energy when they were
growing up, and I don't regret it. •
I made plenty of mistakes but I
did my, best, and nobody can do
better than, that.
Soon my time will belong to
me, and I intend to have a ball.
I'll work in my garden, take
piano lessons, knit an afghan,
paint a picture. have extra
money to get my, hair done and
have lunch with the girls. I'll
have time and energy to
exercise, to take long walks and
discover my own sexuality.
