HOME & FAMILY No Manipulation, Please!by R. Chadshai
Parents' signature during the morning rush?
Morning rush hour. Everyone is in a big hurry to get
out. "Ima, you have to sign here!" Dvora quickly hands
Ima a notebook with her right hand and a pen with the
other hand.
Friends?
Many of us, at some time in our lives, have gravitated
to `friends' who have a negative influence upon us, but
whose friendship we try to salvage, anyway, for many
self deceptive reasons.
How to know when a relationship is counterproductive
and harmful to us? When WE are at risk? A tricky but
critical question in life.
A powerful story with a powerful bottom line.
PREPARING FOR THE FUTURE
"But Ima, I don't want to do it!"
"Abba! Why do I have to do it?"
Sometimes we do need to relate to the likes and
dislikes of our children and explain the `hows' and
`whys.' But often, the issues involved are beyond the
understanding of a child and then we need to tell the
children that they have to do something because they
have to do it and that's the way it is!
We are sure you all have your favorite Helpful Hints,
too. Why not share them with the public and send them
in?
These are too good to digest all at once, so we've
split this article into two parts.

Re: Epidurals, by J. B. Leibman, M.D.
I am responding to the letter written by Mrs. Goldstein
on epidurals. After speaking with department heads and
specialists in three hospitals, I was unable to
substantiate her statistics. Her claim of 400% increase
in posterior babies could not be verified, and even if
it could be, it says nothing, as absolute numbers are
necessary to prove anything. In other words, five in a
million is also a 400% increase over 1 in a million,
but is still meaningless.
Couch Potato I need a new couch. The couch that has been a source of comfort and support to me for the past seven years has begun to tear and come apart. I tried covering it with a sheet but it didn't stay in place so I started vocalizing my need to buy a new couch.
Your Medical Questions Answered! We like to think that the things that I am about to discuss do not exist in our community, but once we realize that habits are hard to break, we will become more sympathetic. Our subject, therefore, is "bad habits."
