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- 137 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,
, 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.

Tell us what you think?
