THE GOLDEN AGE FOR AUGUST 7, 1913
The Price We Pay For The Privilege
of Belonging to a Family
By DOROTHY DIX.
A wise woman was telling this lit
tle story at a tea the other day:
“I have two young sons,” she said,
“one of whom is very orderly, very
methodical in his ways and very par
ticular about his belongings. The oth
er boy is a happy-go-lucky, harum
scarum sort of a chap who scatters
his posssesions to the four quarters
of the earth, and who leaves a room
looking as if a cyclone had passed
through it.
“The two boys occupy the same
apartment, and the disorderly habits
of the scatterer try the very soul of
his methodical brother, and he is for
ever complaining about it.
“‘I sympathize with you,’ I say to
him. ‘I know just how aggravating
it is to have to live with an untidy
person and to have some one use your
things and not put them back, and
strew his own things about in for
bidden places, but you must look at
another side of the questions. Having
to put up with this annoyance is part
of the penalty that you must pay for
belonging to a family. Belonging to
a family brings you many pleasures
and privileges, but it also brings cer
tain pains, among them the necessity
of standing other people’s peculiari
ties and ways. It’s the price you pay
for belonging to a family.’ ”
I wish that every household in the
land might have the sapient words
of this Solomon-in-Petticoats emblaz
oned on the walls of every room in
it, for it would cure that disgruntled
feeling that pervades so many homes.
Read it again and let its philosophy,
its good, hard horse sense soak into
you:
“Having to put up with other peo
ple’s peculiarities is the price you
pay for the privilege of belonging to
a family.”
Stick that motto on your mirror,
Mrs. Housewife, and when you feel in
clined to consider yourself a domes
tic slave, and to complain about the
monotony and drudgery of getting up
meals that are eaten as soon as cook
ed, of sweeping floors that have to
be swept over again the next day,
of darning socks that get holes in
them within 24 hours, just remember
that your work is the price you pay
for having a home and a family.
If you are a lonely, homeless, hus
bandless, childless woman, you would
not have to cook, and sew, and scrub
and mend as you do, but would you
change places with the woman who
has nothing to do and nobody and
nothing belonging to her? Hardly.
Well, then, pay the price for what you
have without grumbling.
And you, mother. What a tale of
woe you have to tell about being tied
down at home with your babies. You
can’t go out to theatres and parties
and the children are always tracking
in dirt, and spilling things, and muss
ing up the rooms, and you can’t walk
across the floor without stumbling
over a toy train, or a doll, and there
isn’t a call for “Mother.” You are
filled with self-pity as you contem
plate your lot. But what about the
feel of little arms about your neck,
what about the nestling of downy
heads against your breast, what about
the millions of fresh interests that
children bring into your life/
All of the work and the worry is
just the price you pay for the privi
lege of having a family, and believe
me, it is worth what it costs. You
can’t have your cake and eat it, too.
You can’t have the freedom to go
and come, the leisure, or, perhaps, as
fine clothes as the childless woman
who has nobody but herself to con
sider, but would you trade oft your
nursery for a motor car or a trip to
Palm Beach? No, not if the whole
United States treasury was thrown
in to boot. Then play square, and
don’t begrudge the cost tag of mother
hood.
And you, oh, wife! how often do
we have to listen to your grumbling
about your husband! He’s got funny,
fussy ways. He’s cantankerous at
times. He’s more interested in the
stock market than he is in Ibsen, and
he isn t a bit like the hero of romance
that you thought you were marrying.
It is true that he is a good provider,
and that you’ve got the best house
and the best clothes of any woman
in your set; but, heavens! how tired
you get of trying to sidestep the sub
jects that are like a red flag to a
mad bull to him and of taking flying
leaps to keep from stepping on the
corns of his prejudices.
Just console yourself with the reflec
tion that when you have to rub your
husband’s fur the right way you are
paying the price for having a hus
band, for having a strong arm on
which to lean, for somebody to stand
between you and the world. Good
ness knows, being married is no cinch
for a woman, but, all things consid
ered, matrimony is about the best job
going, and it makes it an easier job
if the wife, instead of magnifying her
husband’s peculiarities, will just strike
a balance and realize that enduring
his crankiness is the price she pays
for not being an old maid.
And you, Mr. Husband. Oh, of
course, your wife isn’t the incarnate
perfection you took her to be before
you married her. She has lost her
figure and her complexion, and she
isn’t as bright and vivacious as she
used to be, and she’s got no more logic
than a hen, and she’s got all sorts of
foolish ways that you have to remem
ber to respect to keep her from going
into hysterics. Matrimony isn’t all
cakes and ale for a man any more
than it is for a woman, but you know
she’d die for you if it would do you
any good, and there isn’t a better kept
house than yours nor better looked
after children, and that boy and girl
of yours—say, they are wonders!
What would you take to be a love
less old bachelor, without a home,
without children, without any real
vital thing to work for/ That’s worth
standing a good many feminine short
comings for, isn’t it? Then settle
your score with life without trying
to welch on the bargain.
We should all be happier if we re
member that having to put up with
other people’s pecul’arities is the price
we pay for the privilege of belonging
to a family.—Exchange.
