The author describes his wife as au attractive, talented, train­ ed, efficient woman “who lost her personal identity and became one of the millions of females, •thrust holus-bolus into and maternity dresses to signated as a housewife”. Well whose choice was she become a housewife first place anyway? If his des­ cription of her character is ac­ curate, she has no business losing her personal identity. Bored If she was bored, what better indication that it was time to pull up her socks and meet the obvious challenge to rise above the drudgery’ she found in home­ making? With employment opportuni­ ties for women today, most of 'us could quite easily (hire, as .the author states, a professional > nursemaid and charwoman, and s get out into the world of limited ' responsibilities, known as the I business world, in some capacity, i Not Born To his statement that there : i are some women who are born homemakers, we say “ridicul­ ous!” plain and simple. We will wager that there isn’t a wife and mother today who hasn’t become pretty well saturated wih the same drudgery that his wife found in changing diapers, washing dishes, scrubbing floors and cooking three meals a day ■ for an “eat and run” family, j And we’ll wager too that those who have pulled by the bootstraps - of the doldrums richer and. with = satisfaction than as if they did = ’ escape into some form of the gi business world, leaving an ob- E I vious personal failure behind, g J Child Better? |! The author also states that he f; and his wife feel that their son s; would benefit by the change— s j grow more independent.
