Dear Ann Landers,
am a widow over sixty. My son is a bachelor thirty-two years old. Hal has traveled and worked abroad, is successful in business, and has had his own apart-ment off and on. When my husband died two years ago Hal decided to give up his apartment and move in with me. Friends and relatives have made snide remarks, hinting that something must be wrong with a thirty-two-year-old man who lives with his mother. Hal says he enjoys it here, and frankly it's wonderful for me. Hal is not interested in any specific woman at this time but he has had some serious affairs with women, so there is nothing wrong with him in that direction. Am I doing him an injustice by allowing him to live here?- R.X.L.

Dear R.X.L.,
If a son enjoys living in his mother's home and if she enjoys having him there, whose business is it? It's nobody's business, and your relatives should be told as much.
