COUPLE'S FAMILY PLANNING IS HEADED FOR SERIOUS CRASH
DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married two wonderful
years. I was recently in a serious car accident and am cur-
rently unable to drive. The person who mainly drives me
around is my husband, but sometimes friends and family take
me to my appointments or to run errands. Recently my husband
announced that he will no longer take me to buy my birth
control pills because he's ready to have a child and doesn't
want to wait.
Since I am out of work, I have no money of my own and must
rely solely on him for support. Because he is no longer
willing to provide me with the funds to buy birth control,
I am unable to ask anyone else to give me a ride to the
pharmacy. When we have sex, he refuses to use protection.
Although I want children in the future, I do not feel ready
to have any now. We married young and still have years ahead
of us to get pregnant and be active parents.
Please tell me what to do. I'm afraid if I refuse to have a
baby with him he will leave or, when I am ready, decide our
time to start a family has passed. I love him and would do
anything for him. Should I just give in, and is it really
worth a fight?
-- NOT QUITE READY IN COLORADO
DEAR NOT QUITE READY: You and your husband need professional
mediation NOW. You should not be strong-armed into having
a child, which is what your husband is attempting to do.
Women who become pregnant under the circumstances you have
described often feel trapped and resentful, which can nega-
tively affect their ability to parent. If you were so seri-
ously injured in the accident that you can't drive or work,
it's questionable that you are even healthy enough to start
a pregnancy.
What's happening is all wrong, and my alarm bells are
blaring. If this is the way joint decisions are made in your
marriage, there is real serious trouble ahead for you. So
no, you should not just give in, and yes, it really is worth
a fight -- or, at the very least, further discussion.

Do you remember Bozo The Clown?
If you're like me you grew up watching Bozo The Clown. There
were many different Bozo's around the country. Here in Chicago
it was Bob Bell. Even Willard Scott got his start being Bozo.
But there was one Bozo who started it all and to most people
he IS the one and only Bozo. That's Larry Harmon.
On July 3, 2008 we lost Larry. Luckily his work and the magic
that is Bozo will live on forever. Check out this video clip
of Bozo.
You can also buy the DVD at a discounted price. Check it out

DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law is in the process of losing
weight. We're all very proud of her.
The problem is, whenever we are around her, she goes on and
on about what she did or did not eat that day. She also gives
us disapproving looks or makes unwelcome comments about what
we are eating.
We have tried to gently change the subject, but it always
goes back to food. Is there anything we can do or say to
stop this without hurting her feelings?
-- HUNGRY FOR ADVICE IN LONGVIEW, TEXAS
DEAR HUNGRY FOR ADVICE: When someone is dieting, her (or
his) life is centered on food -- food that is allowed, food
that is forbidden, etc. In fact, in many cases when people
diet, they become more focused on and more obsessed with food
than folks who are bingeing.
As long as your sister-in-law is dieting, she probably won't
change. Only when she accepts that her new eating habits have
become her lifestyle will food stop being uppermost in her
thoughts.
Because her constant harping makes you uncomfortable, gently
recommend that she join a weight-loss support group. There
she will receive positive feedback from others who are ex-
periencing her journey -- and with luck you'll be subjected
to fewer of the details.
