Sometimes the discovery is made that what is right for Mom and Dad, Sis, or the kid next door might not be right for you. Even that dynamite personality you ' ve been dat- ing might do things which are acceptable to him, but you can ' t justify. Face it. Every person has the potential for developing a unique personal code, and yours might not match your friend ' s in every aspect. Your code should be ques- tioned often, and adapted after thought.

Maybe you are a liberated person. Our society has dictated male children should fool around with Dad and automobiles and take out the trash, and the female children should be in the kitchen getting it on with chocolate chip cookies, or helping Mom clean the bathroom. So, if this lifestyle isn ' t for you, and if you are honest with yourself, you can break away from society ' s rules and be your own person. As a liberated male, you can become a nurse, go to culinary school in the East, or maybe someday supplement your daughter ' s knowledge with facts your father taught you about internal combus- tion. And females can then be proud to receive an electric drill for Christmas, feel more self-sufficient by paying their own way on dates, and really use their brains for more than washing diapers. But, if more traditional roles are for you live your life the way you want to and in a manner which satisfies you. Just because your former roommate and her husband have decided not to have children, and your sister subscribes to Ms. Magazine does not mean you should follow because it is in vogue. Be your own person and eval- uate your lifestyle honestly. It doesn ' t mat- ter to which side of center on the lifestyle spectrum you place yourself — just so long as it fits your ideals and philosophies, and you honestly believe in it.
