To Prevent Being Called 'Bossy Woman By Ruth Millett If you don’t want people to say, “She certainly runs that family,” don’t do any of these things: Use the word “my” instead oi “our”, when you are talking about the children, the house, or any of its furnishings. Accept an invitation for your husband without consutling him first. Volunteer his services. Or say carelessly, “I’ll have Jim do so and-so,” instead of, “I’ll ask Jim if he will do so-and-so.” Say, “I have decided,” when talking about some decision that concerns both you and your husband. Always be the one who de cides when it is timt iur you and your husband to leave a party. Keep your husband jumping to wait on you. Point out your husband’s duties as a host in front of the guests. Make it clear to everyone that you handle the finances in your family. Object when he corrects the children. reu everyone now goou you± husband is about helping you around the house. Criticize his clothes, his hair cut, his grammar or his man ners in front of other people. Say how Jim wanted to do so and-so but you insisted on do ing such-and-such and it was a good thing you did, too.
