Classic Ann Landers January 10Dear Ann Landers: My husband and I have been married 12 years. We have two children, an 11-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son. Both have been involved in sports since first grade, mostly soccer and basketball. The problem is my husband. He has very high expectations of our children's performance in sports. He lectures them before the game, tells them what to do during the game, and criticizes them afterward. He screams so much his voice becomes hoarse. He made both kids cry when he was assistant coach for my daughter's basketball team last season and had several outbursts, including swearing. One embarrassing performance resulted in a stern warning from the referee. My husband behaves this way only when sports are involved, but I cannot deal with this much longer. He thinks I am crazy and says I don't understand because I never played team sports. I need your advice. — Desperate in the Northeast Dear Northeast: Your husband is not going to change, nor will he turn down the volume, so you must learn to protect yourself and your children against his outbursts. Play deaf, and instruct your children to do the same. Just let him scream his foolish head off. One of these days, his doctor is going to say something to him about his ulcers or his high blood pressure, and then he will have to listen. Dear Ann Landers: My fiance and I have been together for almost four years and are planning to be married next summer.
Is this an example of male ego run amok or what? I do not want this issue to create a rift between us and would agree to change my name just to make him happy, although I really don't want to. Am I being overly obstinate, as he says? I would appreciate some Ann Landers guidance. We're getting nowhere. — A Split Opinion in the Midwest Dear Split Opinion: The "liberated women" are going to hate me, but I suggest a compromise, even though there is something to be said for tradition — and I believe you lose nothing by respecting it. Use your own surname for professional purposes and your husband's name for everything else. When planning a wedding, who pays for what? Who stands where?
