Dear Ann Landers,
didn't like your answer to "Crisis In Suburbia." A mother wanted to know if her sons were entitled to an increase in allowance because their father received a promotion and a pay raise. You said, "Yes, provided they take on extra chores and earn the increase." I am a grandfather who is appalled at what is happening to the younger genera-tion. I think it's disgraceful to pay children for doing what they should do. After all they are a part of the family, so why shouldn't they pitch in? Paying children for every little thing makes me sick. I say kids should help around the house be-cause they live in the house and eat and sleep there. That's reason enough.-Three Score And Ten

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, I’d like to add that an enlightened woman can also help herself-if she wants to. My wife’s mother is a classic example of a woman who has used the menopause for all it’s worth. She is sixty-eight and has kept her husband hovering over her with a fan in one hand and a sweater in the other for twenty years. Whenever she insults a friend (which is often) she says, “The change has made me awfully nervous.” My own mother takes her pills quietly, goes to the doctor for shots, and you never hear a word out of her. My wife has 48 already promised me that when this happens to her she is going to keep her mouth shut, and I am-Grateful.

Tell us what you think?
