dad says we'll have to change our plans because he has to see this client. That's breaking a promise and we are always taught not to break our promises. How come he can do that and we are not supposed to? My mom and dad are fun people and we have neat times when we go out for something, but when I get all excited about doing something neat with them and then they say sorry we can’t go, it makes me mad. What can’ I say to him hesides just letting him know I'm mad? Getting QUESTION: Although f am only 38 I have a yearning that I believe is ‘usually more likely to be experienced by an older person. I am happi- ly married, have two healthy kids and my work is an en- joyable challenge that pays well and offers almost ideal arrangements and mosphere. My yearning ts to get away from the entire package once in a while. Although everything is “just great,” I want to walk away from it off and on. I am not bored or unhappy with any aspect of my life, and yet, I long, once in a while, to just walk away from it for a few hours or a day or two. I've had this desire off amd on for two or three years now, but have never given in to it. I feel like I would be backing off from respon- sibility. Have you any com- ments? STEWART: Yes I have. If I understand you, your first step will be to stop scecing your yearning as something related to “giving in.” You have some insight that would benefit milhons of people were they to follow through with it Do it!

STEWART: Your dad pio- mise. You: See, . fellow's dad i is.in the kind of business | your | dad: is i in, that client-is a very yety impor- tant person. He is not as im- portant as you are, but your dad knows he must do well’ in business and so he banks on you and your mom to understand that he sometimes has to change his plans if a client can't see him at just the time your dad would like to see him. It is a difficult thing for your dad to. handle so that ‘you and your mom are never let down. You'll have to learn to be excited about the neat ideas your dad has, but have it in mind that he may have to away your wife and plan it so that BOTH of. you will do it - separately. She may not realize that she needs the -sort of breaks you talk of just " as much as you do. If you use your “breaks” happily and wisely and in ways that really appeal to you, you will return to your wife and kiddies, and your job, renewed and _ en- thusiastic. Naturally, you will not want simply to walk out on your loved ones and your job (that would be “giv- ing in”) but will need to plan in ways that, in the long run, will be beneficial to everyone, including yourself.
