Dear Ann Landers, am a seventeen-year-old girl who has a mother problem. She doesn't think any of the boys I like are 67 good enough for me. This one is too short and that one lives in the wrong part of town. For the fourth time in two months mother has arranged a date for me with the son or the nephew of her bridge-club ladies. These fellows are jerky and I can't stand them. I've told her how I feel but she says I'm too young to know my own mind. What burns me up is that she doesn't even ask me. She makes the date and I have to go. Is this right or wrong?-Like For Sale
Dear Like, A pushy mother often spoils the chances of a very nice guy by cramming him down a daughter's throat. Maybe your mom needs something to keep her occupied, like some business of her own to mind.
Hi! It's Margo here. I'd love to know what you think of the letters -- and the answers!
Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.
