Dear Ann Landers: Our children are five and three years of age.

My parents live in this city and we take the children lo see their
grandparents every other week,
My mother is the problem. She talks of nothing but alckness

- and death. Her favorite topic is friends who have cancer. She gocs

Into great detail about how they are. suffering. If.there was
surgery, she knows all about it.

Grandma Is only 62 and in good health but she takes pills for
the menopause as well as tranquilizers and aspirin. She invites the
children to watch her take her medicine and makes a big’
production out of it,

Thave told mother that morbid talk is unhealthy for children,
She pays no attention. It’s the same story every tme we go over
there. What should be done about this? —Troubled
Dear T.: Whenever grandma starts to talk about. iilness or death,
change the subject to something cheerful and happy.’ If she
returns to the gloom-and-doom recitals, cut in and say, “Your sad
stories spoil our visit, mother. Please read the children something

from thls book.” Then whip out “Dr, Doolittle" or “Francine, Your
Face Would Stop A Clock", by Mell Lazarus.

Tn other words, get control of the conversation and don't let

go.

Dear Ann Landers: I eens yours i a people column but you do

Magpie, our pet collie, is like a member of the family. When
she was a pup she had a terrible fear of lightning and
thunderstorms. Every time a storm hit, Maggie would chase her
tail, bark and ery, and jump on the furniture. We thought she'd
oulgrow it but she hasn't, In fact, she's getting worse.

‘Now that Maggie Is a large dog we have to put her in the

we knew we could never have the life together. we wanted. We
decided to seltle for second best,

We had tobe extremely cautious because of his prominence. I
was determined that his reputation nat be tarnished by scandal.
He also had a lovely wife and children who were still in school.

together were the best of my entire life, But now he is dying and I
