Don't get me wrong. I don't want any readers I may have to sit down and pour out their troubles to me in the hope that I will be able to set them straight, That's just not my cup of tea. But I do enjoy reading those literary pieces if for no other reason than to discover now many problems others have that I don't. Every once in a long while someone will write in with a problem which could very easily involve me . and this week I read one somewhere from a gal who said she'd visited at a friend's home for an evening of cards and had been serenaded all evening long with drum solos one after the other, kids arguing, a guitar and arepliphier turned up to the topmost and a stereo belching acid rock. The reader went on to complain that her hostess' seemed to be deaf to the racket and made no move to tone down the din in the background. The entire scene seemed so much like the atmosphere at our house that I began to reread the article time and time again to distinguish some clue which would tell me which one of my friends had written it about our house. I was even more perturbed by the columnist's answer. She advised that her reader shot I have left and told the hostess yo invite her back again another time . . after the children were ail married! I suppose it is difficult for most people to understand the reasoning behind allowing your children to live as they please (within limits, of course) even at home. And I would agree that it is in extremely bad taste for a host or hostess to submit guests to all the turmoil and strife which normally prevails in the household. But I'm a firm believer in encouraging your children to come home and to bring their friends home with them. And I know that if you are going to make a success of this kind of thing, you have to be prepared to accept their company ANYTIME . . . even at the most inopportune moments, That's just t r otten „ seemed, -that my kids choose to entertain at the precise moment that I do, How many times have I invited guests for dinner only to discover that my children have also made tentative plans to ask their friends to eat dinner with us? (Maybe it is because the kids know we'll have something rather special on the menu that evening, I don't know.) After appraising the situation from a nonlysterical vantage point, I've found that I seldom advise my children in advance of my plans, so how in the world could I expect them to know what's going on in any certain day. Furthermore, I've discovered " that it needn't be such a calamity. I simply entertain our guests in the diningroom while my kids have their friends in the kitchen or in the familyroom or on the patio, Who really cares how many dining areas there are as long as everyone gets fed? That's the reason we . have found a large house the only answer to our dilemma raising three children of varied ages and teaching them our approval of using their home as much of the time as possible for whatever activity they may select. It gets bothersome at times . but we've learned that if you shut the doors between the livingroom and the diningroom and between the diningroom and the kitchen and between the kitchen and the familyroom, you can watch television quite easily in the livingroom, have a 4—H conflab in the diningroom, a coloring bee in the kitchen and a rock session in the familyroom. Naturally there is some din seeping through the walls, but if you set your minds to it the whole affair can work quite satisfactorily. I have no patience with guests who come to our house and expect everything to be the same as they left it at their house, Each home is different and I fully expect my friends to adapt to our customs when they visit with us just as I would understand the differences in their way of life while visiting them. And I would strongly urge my guests to either accept things. as they are . . . or leave permanently. It won't do any good to return in 20 years because who knows? By that time I may have taken up the banjo and who wants Osten to that all evening long?
