Dr Ferree who described the findings in Psychology Today found that almost twice as many housewives as em ployed wives reported that they were dissatisfied with their lives and believed their hus bands work was more in teresting than theirs Only about 25 per cent felt happy with their lives and that their accomplishments were recog nized More housewrves claimed they had not had fair oppor

natural par ents and an extramarital child who had been adopted could be extremely disturbing for both parties Mrs Margaret Mawer assistant director of the Association of British Adoption and Fostering Agencies an um brella group for the countrys adoption agencies said many adopted adolescents have fan tasies about their natural parents This often gives rise to desperate hunts for mothers
