Re: Scouting needs my wife back

Just what exactly is "the age old problem." ? Sounds to me as if the "new"
SM feels threatened by her presense and that she might make him "look bad."
As a female SM, I have fought this battle--it's not easy and it certainly
isn't fun. BUT it's well worth it. Sounds to me as if this is one
dynamite lady, with a lot to offer. She is going to need a lot of support,
not only from you, but from the boys, the parents, and the troop committee.
To your wife, I've been there, and in some cases still have to put up
with it. Feel free to contact me anytime you want, if for nothing else but
to blow off a little steam.
