Jumbles: BRAVE PORCH RARELY MIRROR
Answer: It was hard to choose which new socks to buy
because they were so — “COM-PAIR-ABLE”
My stepmother never helps with anything around the house
Hi, Carolyn:
My father’s wife (my mom is deceased)
never lifts a finger to help, never offers
to pitch in, cook or buy a meal, ever.
Nothing! On the other hand, she has been
on 10-plus vacations with us all over the
world — at our expense — countless par
ties, dinners, etc. She is well-off, so the
ability to do something/anything is there.
I am not looking for quid pro quo, but I
feel like a doormat. Am I wrong to be frus
trated here? If she even offered to watch
our kids once a year so we could go out,
that would be a great start. Thoughts?
— Relative
You’ve got a taker and there’s no
alchemy to render her into a saint.
But there are tactics you can use to take
the edge off and, ideally, slow the growth
of any resentment you’ve been cultivating.
They are actually the same ones — not
coincidentally — that parents use to dis
courage anti-social behavior in toddlers.
Instead of putting on a dinner or family
event or trip and just waiting for her to
volunteer her effort, approach each of
these plans as a collection of individual
jobs and ask her which one she’d like.
Toddler version, to avoid a tantrummy
refusal to put shoes on in time to go to school:
“Which sneakers do you want
to wear, purple or red?
Stepmother version, to pre
empt freeloading: “Do you
want to do the salad, or set
the table? I’m working on the
sides, but you can take over
that if you’d prefer.”
The key is to be universal
and uniform. Everything you
do together as a family becomes a list of jobs
everyone involved then steps in to claim.
(With the exception of course of times people
want to give or host as a gift to all.)
As for the baby-sitting, similar idea: Just
ask. “Hey Dad (see what I did
there?), would you and Wife
be willing to watch the kids
for us for our anniversary din
ner?” If you specify an occa
sion, then you’ll make it clear
the slope isn’t greased and you
won’t be expecting them to be
your child care ever after.
Once you spell out for them
what you value, you make it easy for people
to contribute in meaningful ways.

ace of hearts and a heart to the king

ace, ruff, six. Two more hearts drew
the trumps. A spade to dummy’s ace

Opening lead: Three of 4»
North’s double showed a sound
opening bid — 13-15 points. We
don’t know the meaning of East’s
redouble, but we suspect it was an
effort to muddy the waters. The
waters were too muddy for South
to make a bid at his first turn, but he
made up for it on the next round.
The opening club lead went to the
seven, eight, and a ruff by South. The
South cashed the ace of diamonds,
hoping a sleepy East would play
low and then get endplayed with
the king. East was not asleep, and
he unblocked the king of diamonds
under the ace. South now cashed
the last trump and West couldn’t
defend the position. There was no
winning discard between the queen-
10 of spades and the jack-nine of
diamonds, as a diamond discard
would see West end played with the
jack. Very well played!
