European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - December 31, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse Ann Landers dear Ann Landers there s been a lot of talk about an unusual happening in our town. I d like your opinion. Our neighbor a a Judy just had a healthy baby boy. Her husband a a Dan was not present at the birth because he wanted to play in a two Day Golf tournament three hours from their Home. Judy said it was of. Judy called Dan the first night he was away to Tell him that her water had broken. He was loaded and promised to Call her in the morning. A Hon Dan called the cleaning woman said a the mrs. Is in the Hospital. Her Mother took Dan called the Hospital and Judy answered the phone in her room. A How Are you a he asked. A Fine a she said a a had the baby a few hours ago. When Are you coming Home a Dan replied a Well As Long As you and the baby Are Fine i think i la stay and play in the Dan finished the tournament late that afternoon and drove Home that evening. The next Day instead of staying with his wife and son Dan went to the office to catch up on his work. This was on thursday. On Friday he made plans to play Golf saturday and sunday. The baffling part of this whole situation is that Judy does no to think there a anything wrong with her husbands behaviour. My question should i talk some sense into this idiots head or keep my Mouth shut by the Way Dan is a Salesman not a professional golfer. A disgusted neighbor dear disgusted mob lady. If Judy does no to mind that her husband is obsessed with Golf what concern is it of yours dear Abby dear readers my new years column has be come an annual tradition since 1973.

You sound like a woman who does no to have enough to do. Dear Ann Landers last night 1 did the hardest thing 1 have Ever had to do in my life. I filed charges for burglary and arson against my 14-year-old son. He has become More and More difficult and it has reached the Point where neither my husband nor i can handle him. In the last two weeks he has skipped school gotten into a fight with a neighbor boy and stolen Money out of my Lockbox. Yesterday he lit a Candle and set fire to a pile of papers while i was at the grocery store. Luckily i returned before much damage was done. He could have burned our House Down. I was at the end of my rope and the knot was coming undone. I called juvenile services to see about help for both him and me. I was told that the Only Way they could do anything is through the courts which meant i would have to file charges. This May seem like a cruel thing for a Mother to do but i figured 1 had to Stop this boys anti social behaviour before he ended up in a Federal Penitentiary which is where kids like this usually land unless harsh measures Are taken. I believe what i did is called a Tough love Quot a what a wonderful name. Maybe if More parents tried it instead of getting mixed up in the a not my child syndrome our jails would t be As crowded. A Tough mom in Maryland dear Tough mom lets Hope your son gets Good counselling in that juvenile Home. Sometimes we have to be a a cruel to be kind. Good Luck. C creators Syndicate inc. My health. If in a a smoker ill make an honest Effort to quit. If in a overweight. Ill eat nothing i know to be fattening. And i will Force myself to exercise. Just for today before i speak i will ask myself a is it True is it kind a and if the answer to either of those questions is negative i won t say it. Just for today i will make a conscious Effort to be agreeable. I will look As Good As i can dress become ugly talk softly act courteously and not interrupt when someone else is talking. Just for today ill not improve anybody except myself. Just for today i will have a program. I May not follow it exactly but i will have it thereby saving myself from two pests hurry and indecision. To one and All have a Happy healthy new year. And to ensue a Happy new year for everyone else if you re driving done to drink and if you re drinking done to drive.
