their teens What we need is some articles for teens telling them how to get along with their parents grew up during the Depression and we were really poor My folks werent perfect but they did the best they could grew up with bad teeth and went without glasses for too many years because there was no money for luxuries such eye doctors and orthodontists We didnt have the social service agencies in those days never heard of kids going to psychiatrist when was growing up but somehow they made it and most of them did lot better than the privileged kids we see all around us who are getting help hope the teenagers who read your column will stop and think of what is involved raising kids these days Its the hardest job there is and they never seem to appreciate what their parents go through until they have kids of their ownWe Know Dear WK How true Raising kids is the hardest job there is But its also the most rewarding if the kids turn out right Thank you for provocative letter Dear Ann Landers This might not sound like much od problem to you but it bothers me lot Maybe getting it off my chest will help My husband and have been married since 1965 Three years ago we were sitting and talking and suddenly he looked at me and said You are not beautiful woman thats all there is to it You just arent was stunned He must have noticed the hurt look on my face because he quickly added Dont get me wrong You look all right never had any illusions about myself Ann While Im no beauty always hoped my husband thought was pretty though he never said so Now whenever he makes complimentary remark about some womens looks remember what he said to me that night and feel hurt all over again Am being silly When ask him if he really loves me he says Im still here aint If What do you think Am beingAToo Vain Dear TV Face it doll Its like pulling hens teeth to get compliment out of some men and you are married to one When you recognize that the problem is his and not yours youll feel better Apparently your husband comes from long line of icebergs and he just cant thaw out and express his feelings Dear Aim Landers Im writing mainly for those kids who didnt want their dad to get married after they lost their mom Our mom died three years ago Dad was depressed for long time Then he started taking out young girls and was never home Last August Dad married neat lady his own age She has
