Too busy to have any fun

QUESTION: My dad's
business is going awfully well
for him, but it isn’t for me.
We used to have a lot of fun
together on weekends and
even sometimes on school
days too but he’s so busy now
| hardly ever get a chance to
even go camping with him.
He tells mom and my sister
and brother that he's awfully
busy. And he told us one day
that if he wasn't so busy,
we'd all be sorry because
then we wouldn't have such
nice things because he'd lose
his business if he didn't work
so hard. | guess that's right
but can't he fix it so we can
have some fun together
again?

STEWART: He might be
able to do that, but I guess

he thinks he can't do it just
yet. Business is funny He
may have to work extra hard
nght now ‘al he gets things
feeling safer and surer in his
business. But perhaps he
could do an even better job
in his business if he could
arrange it to have a httle bit
more fun with you and the
others. Perhaps your best
way would be to think of

something you'd hke to do
with him and then ask him if
he could work it sometime
pretty soon. Tell him you
miss the camping and you'd
like to be with him more and
ask him if he could manage it
sometime like,
perhaps month. And
ask him if there’s anything
you can do to help him be

Soon,

Being so sick can be a choice

QUESTION: What's all this

new emphasis I'm getting
stuffed at me about being
responsible for everything

that happens to you? It's just
as though anything bad that
happens to me, I'm to blame
for. I'll give vou an example.
I've been in pretty poor
health quite a lot lately and
on top of it all the other day I
caught a bad cold. Well, one
of these bright guys said to
me, “What are you choosing
all this sickness for?” I nearty
blew my stack. Who in his

to be sick, or choose to
come down with a cold? He
tried to explain himself a bit
more but believe me, | don't
know what is in his mind.
Sure, | accept responsibility
for a whole lot of things in
my life, but these things that
just come along. have
nothing to do with my
CHOICES. Do you know
what he’s talking about?
