Dear Ann Landers, A mother who becomes involved in the petty squabbles of her children is more childish than they. Ask your wife to please wait until you get home before she "does any-thing." By then the trouble will have been settled-by the kids. 149 Dear Ann: My in-laws are both seventy-three. My husband and I have dinner with them every week. For the past several months my father-in-law has not been acting very fatherly. He never does anything out of the way in the presence of his wife or my husband. He manages to get me in the kitchen or in the back hall. When I was dating I knew how to deal with char-acters who sneaked up and planted an unwanted kiss on the back of my neck. I belted them one and I never had any trouble after that. What should I do in this case? If my hus-band knew he'd be wild.-Disgusted

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.
