Couple gives parents a key and opens door to trouble DEAR ABBY: My husband's parents live next door. We gave them a key to our house in case of emergencies. This was the worst mistake we ever made. Before they had the key we had a good relationship, but no more. His father is a very early riser, so he lets himself into our home while we are still in bed. He reads our mail and invades our privacy. His mother also lets herself in and looks around. Last Sunday morning I walked into our kitchen stark naked and my father-in-law was standing'there! We never know when they are to surprise us. Wheri~<we-have company, they walk in as lough they lived here. K them, but we will not feel comfortable until we get our key back. We hate to hurt their feelings, so we haven't said anything to omfc Have you any suggestions? NEEDS PRIVACY DEAR NEEDS: Yes. With as much diplomacy as he can muster, your husband must tell his parents that their surprise visits are disturbing and often inconvenient, so would they please return the house key. It won't be easy, but it's the only way you can regain your privacy. DEAR ABBY: A good friend came to visit me with her two children, both under 3 years of age. By the time they left, my stereo was damaged, my carpet stained an antique cloak broken--and that was just in the living room. The rest of the house looked like a tornado went through it. All this occured while my friend sat and talked, apparently oblivious to the whole thing. I was afraid if I asked her to control her kids or leave, our friendship would be over because she is very sensitive about her kids. Please don't think I'm an old, fuddy-duddy who hates kids. I'm not. I love kids, and hope to have my own someday. However, my husband and I have worked hard to furnish our home and don't appreciate it being destroyed by kids like hers. I'm beginning to wonder if the friendship is worth it. Surely I'm not the only one with this problem. A printed solution might help. READY TO SCREAM DEAR READY: Screaming will not restore your clock, rei your stereo and clean your carpet. Kids usually tear around tornados because they are bored.' A few toys and some coloi books in full view of you and their mother might be helpful, i should the child get out of line, a firm reprimand would not be out of order. DEAR ABBY: I have one child who is 8 years old. We live next door to a family with six kids. (I'll call them the Joneses.) My daughter plays with the Jones girl, who is also 8. Whenever I give the girls a treat and one of the other Jones kids sees it, the news spreads like wildfire, then Mrs. Jones sends one of her kids over here to get treats for the rest of her kids who are in the house 'Our mom says one of us everything has to be equal!" Abby, I came from a family of nine kids, and when a plavmate's parent gave one of us a treat, we said "Thank you' and felt grateful; we'd never dream of asking for eight more for the kids at home.! I am raising my daughter to know that she can't have everything her playmates have--that life isn't always "fair and equal," but Mrs. Jones is putting me in a terrible position. So how do I handle this? FRUSTRATED DEAR FRUSTRATED: Tell Mrs. Jones that you admire her for treating all her children equally, but a neighbor who gives a child a special treat should not be expected to provide all the brothers and sisters with identical treats. Ana if Mrs. Jones doesn't understand, don't give her child treats where she will be seen and envied. nere 10 get ixeais ior me rest oi ner kids i watching TV or whatever. They say, "Our can't have anything unless we all have it; fair and equal!" Page 6 - PLAINPEALER-HERALP, FRIDAY, JULY 5,1985 Life today
