DEAR MARY HAWORTH -I am very much "in the middle" of my family, which consists of a husband and seven -four daughters and three sons. In general I find this a thrilling place to be, were it not for the problem of mediating between my husband's social conservatism and the older children's opposing views. My husband, I shall call him Alban, is descended from rigid churchgoing stock. His childhood was austere, his resultant convictions are unalterable, and consequently I feel that I am a buffer for the children, often striving to provide normal privileges for them, while also cushioning the Mary Haworth brunt of their convictions.

Mary Haworth Wife Grew Liberal After Reflection It grieves Alban deeply that our older children dance, play cards and smoke cigarettes; and although my parents, like his, felt that these activities were snares of the devil. I have thought things through to the conclusion that they are more likely to be means of enjoying a healthy social life in moderation. I find much satisfaction in seeing our children hold their own socially, as I never could under my parents' bans; and as mediator I should like to bring my husband to an appreciation of the children's viewpoint; but his tolerance goes no further than saying, "If your mother approves, it's all right." In brief, he plainly Indicates that although he permits, he sadly disapproves. Is this attitude likely to do psychological damage? S. Man's Disposition Isn't Really Rigid DEAR E.

convictions may be indelible, but his actions prove that he has at least as much confidence in your judgment as he has in his ingrained notions of how to live. When caught between two fires, he inclines to follow your lead, although with many apologetic genuflexions (inwardly) to his parents' teachings, when you take a tack contrary to his views. As I get the picture, Alban is an amiable, anxious, uncertain fellow, who wants to please everybody and yet play safe with his own conscience; hence the contradiction in his attitude, of shaking his head even while nodding it, a typical performance in one who has been repressively reared, with little if any help in learning to evaluate, objectively, the worth or demerit (for individuals) of disputed forms of behavior. Is his tense neutrality psychologically damaging to the family? Well, obviously it visits great strain upon you, by causing you to feel guiltily apprehensive and morally deserted by him, in respect to a liberal policy you've pushed through, despite mute questions posed by your "conditioned" conscience, too. Also there is a possibility that his attitude infects the children's unconscious mind with a vague defensive sense of wrongdoing.

Ideally, if Alban is going to second your motion, he ought to endorse it without misgivings, so far as the children know. Further, in "giving ground" presumably to enhance their enjoyment of life, he ought to remark, not on dangers implicit, but rather on their accession to growing measure of personal responsibility for their welfare, henceforth to be sensibly shared with parents.
