Series of news reports

well branch which is more directly involved and a day operation of the lawmakers recommendations we have scheduled or hearings in such a way that we will meet after the last task force meeting in september and before the supreme court's new guidelines go into effect oct one he gives us an opportunity to review what the task force is done and maybe make some recommendations for orion raise some red flags before the supreme court makes the action of putting out new guidelines in place october one so we do have some input to say we're going to take a bunch of testimony from the public we're not because that is that is going on as we speak and they're quite a bit of testimony has been taken and they'd gone around the state that it was really done a better job of what we could be a descending into peak and having people coming in so we're very anxious to hear what what the taskforce has to say i will say this i have no doubt that the guidelines will change again

i think the supreme court is probably poised to take into consideration certain extenuating circumstances that take place out there i think the main criticism of the guidelines now is that the district court has is looking antennas or rather than guidelines they have the one of course not and the saints are local courts are behind as on the same criticism is the biggest records as a whole are having a tendency to use the guidelines is as the gospels so to speak and say we cannot deviate from his guidelines is what the supreme court says that child support be from this gross income from his party and his gross income from this party and i can't be a well uribe guidelines supreme court says that they are just guidelines and they can be deleted from and under certain circumstances and that the courts are taken a consideration special circumstances that makes this that may actually call for more shell support in some cases or less tell support some cases and i think the

consensus is that if those guidelines are falling to the letter they're actually causing father's day more shall supported what they really should be paying considering so many other circumstances that are going on some you know things that fathers are doing i noticed when the court will come down if again if i are asked to speculate as to what they'll do i think the guidelines may have softened a little bit in terms of the amount of support and will be more encouragement to those records to use their discretion on a case by case basis and setting sun and support if they do tend to soften a bit yet still hiring the idea that they're just guidelines could we not see that the scales tip too far the other way of course the danger is as is because you are a lot of problems in the new overreact and but my first the supreme court has been that it is serious and i don't mean this critically but this record slow to react and i think it would also be slow to have the

pendulum swing back the other way it i see of course if you see a softening of the guidelines then you may see certain groups in that as an opportunity to make his poems when even further back and have his legislature maybe take some action says doing that i think if the legislature say is that the supreme court is responding to legitimate criticism about their guidelines have responded in a prudent way what those guidelines stanton and let them let them work for a few more years before we in a request for review and what kind or child custody are you reviewing it and now a lot of states it seems that women normally get that child into custody debate is that true in kansas also because it's true and kansas as a general rule we have a job in kansas or joint custody i don't know how meaningful joint custody is because even under that relationship you have what we call presidential custody and non residential

custody which some would argue is simply custody in and visitation forth with the mother has a residential custodian having sought custody with father having visitation rights i visited with one gentleman on the phone and have corresponded with him who was granted joint custody in a divorce who wants to be very much involved in decisions an end and it's good day to day on lies a visit two sons and yet he gets his children harm seems like it was two days a month and one month of the summer and he is having trouble figured out how this is joint custody this sounds like the old sole custody with father having certain visitation rights not permit that we may be looking at a situation of of trying to define in more specific terms what joint custody is drawing cousin is easy in a situation where you have both parents the mature and they get along

and handed many live in the same school district and maybe a few blocks or a few miles apart shared custody relationships can work very well in those cases but we can't keep people from moving away from each other and many times you have people's parents living in different towns medium different states and to force the situation and children where they live with one parent six months in and have to move to another state or another town for six months a brooding man and very critical times their development changing schools is probably not in the best interest of the child although that may satisfy the needs of a otherwise non custodial parent so we've really got a balancing act to accomplish here and i'm not sure what the writers all his accent weaker stills going to tennessee lee lot of discretion with the court that sees this case on a weekly basis knows the the parents has had been in court ladies have not to visit with kids and knows what their desires are what a little maturity years

there's been a reluctance to have legislature set for the cold hard fast rule because that's sort of what we've been critical of the child support guidelines forster too inflexible whether the flexibility that some cases where they want to remind the course that when we say joint custody we met meaningful joint custody and there encourage maybe a little bit more protests a patient with a non custodial care sometimes we see a relationship where it's august are truly is a father and a non custodial singer father that he doesn't want to have that much data day input as totally satisfied with a visitation that the lesson has certain weekends and maybe some solid blocks of time in the summer and sometimes those relationships work unfortunately we have a lot of growing i think by your father's who want it would very much like to see their children every day just like they used to and and who are asking the question why should my

divorce and relationship with a child's mother change how high grow up with kids in and participate in their life because the divorce didn't have anything to do with my love for my children the same applies to two mothers who find themselves in that situation and yet you know we see were similar cases where it gets to be a situation where a joseph welch oregon was somebody in song and have them live too parent day and was regarded current beyond this could have to set forth a visitation schedule allows the parties can agree to something anat connelly's a lot can still turn out the cold and now by the same token there of the force to pay x amount of dollars without really knowing how or why that money is being spent in certain ways not getting any credit for a minute to pay over and above that for special needs were with the children and i can understand a lot of frustrations that some of these non custodial parents or are having them or you can look at those that

you mentioned that again it's a judicial area where a lot of them judgment on the calls need to be made this may not be a fair comparison but looking at sentencing guidelines for criminals san diego we found that in certain parts of the state there are not applicable to other parts of the state and maybe sentence in johnson county get three years for a crime in centre county and you get you know six months are we seeing some of these issues involving child support a child custody on a similar in equal basis in different areas that that's been part of a criticism of course i haven't seen the statistics on a judicial district by judicial district basis to say how comparable cases how comparable cases are being decided that was the social economic conditions being so diverse across state between their safety northeastern and the southeast been so

different for instance how the judges are taking the social economic differences into consideration financial support and child custody early seventies to the study what we're what we're saying is we like the first decision to be right on the spot with a judge if we see that that is out of balance their equities we would like to see the supreme court set down some guidelines still keep it in me and the judicial branch and ethical we see that there are isn't the slow public opinion that the guidelines are working there that will do something a legislatively representative mike o'neill is the chairman of the special committee on judiciary in hutchinson yes there is which unfortunately or your energies

that hud secretary jack kemp has recently suspended revised all restricted for programs after an investigation has shown widespread abuse and mismanagement during the reagan years so what affect did these changes have on kansas at this point it seems to have no direct impact but with investigations ongoing the future could hold some problems for the state the housing and urban development federal agency provides funds in a variety of ways some of the money goes through state agencies for disbursement a local communities and other firms go more directly from hud to the communities the state agency that handles a big chunk of her dollars is the kansas department of commerce the fines under this branch of red fall under the small cities program firms are then given to cities and fifty thousand or less people this year kansas received about fourteen million head dollars for the small cities program program administrator domingo marie isn't too concerned about

the possibility of kansas feeling the effects of the hajj shakeup well because we're talking about all the record low income housing an image we do we do we do all that at the bulk at all goes into wherever and little carol it i get a grande or will audit it can go way long article about that we'll be poor and apparently there's been doing or whatever and then

one can argue that doesn't mean that maybe the wichita view would not about and cities are categorized as larger than fifty thousand in population the cities don't go through the commerce department for funding but they do go through the federal head office in kansas city bill nichols is with the kansas city office at this point nichols says the state shouldn't be feeling any effects of the head shakeups but like many people he still a little bit confused you're going to read

it's a line at why did it is the supervisor of this online community to come on the program i'll know like many others he hasn't seen any of his programs cat he is concerned about what the future may hold maybe you're spending a probably a program until certain prominent corrected and then you don't know what the guidelines and speculation will always that tension in which we go and the horn and then you know a new world of public radio restrictions or regulation of the show we all know about and part of that bill administrators dependent on high tech financing say they're just going to adopt

a wait and see attitude whether or not any more cuts or restrictions under jack kemp will affect their offices in hutchinson yes yes we look very own suspicion looked suspiciously a contract to deal with human life we have a longstanding rule in kansas that contracts and contemplation of marriage you marry so and so i'll give you expropriate those are avoidable contracts because they deal with the crucial type relationship so we think it's against public policy to contract for the same problem we see in the areas of bursts of how you contract for a life thats not inconvenient there's been no person and you have all sorts of crumbs incident with that person the fact the mother may feel one way today in a different way tomorrow when she's had just given birth

and the baby m case they actually found that the contract was nine forcible and had treated case is one of a child custody dispute do we again the child into the natural mother or or in this case an actual father who had supposedly contract for a child even the uniform law commissioner should have proposed legislation in syria have a difference of opinion and has actually proposed to model laws there made agreed to pour one recognizes the contract and says for certain guidelines to be followed another option all these legislation bands that sort of contracts altogether can be a matter of public policy as to what which way the state goes in and we think that we probably ought to make a decision that area before we have one of those cases come up in and have the courts take that decision away from so as it stands today is a surrogate contract legal in kansas couldn't be taken to

court upheld or is it what about i think maybe the answer that by senate that can be taken to court in the absence of any color language in the statute is a judicial question cause obviously we recognize contracts agreements between two koreas operate at arm's length was satisfactory a consideration and mutuality the senate would call it and are arguably that are the transaction is an arm's length transaction or some consideration given meaning in exchange for a child being given to the contracting parents they were there to provide financial assistance and support during the pregnancy both parties a center that particular contracts all the elements of the contract appear to be president the real question is does a volley public policy to be contracting for human life historically in the state those have been against public policy but censors the statute that says one where another of the first case that comes up if there is a

dispute between the parties it can end up in court and the court may look to the baby a decision for president and say we'll go with that decision and say that there is no forceful contract or they look at a kansas history on contracts and ma insecticide that there is a contract that and forcible how would the legislature was to look at is should we besides america what policy what that answer should be and set the record straight suit the courts have something to follow the case does come out i think will establish public policy because it's something that is very emotional collect the abortion issue and probably end we know that this situation will come up several a really pro are too aggressive at all i can't predict what the results kind of a veteran oh i'll take a guess i would say that we would probably lean toward banning servicing contracts so just because were

historically over a conservative state with regard to contract in for human lives every senator mike o'neill is the chairman of the special interim committee on judiciary in hutchinson i'm nancy finken fb were issues including surrogacy in the committee hasn't yet adoption child custody john doe pleadings in and out of state vehicle registrations in hutchinson i'm nancy finken if you've been fishing at cow creek northwest of hutchinson lately you should think twice before eating the fish you may have caught the kansas department of health and environment and the state wildlife office are investigating the cause for a massive fish kill at the creek this week larry zuckerman an aquatic ecologist with the parks and wildlife department says so far no cause has yet been determined wellpoint which killed on tell creek and

cornish and at ninety one taiwan of nineteen ninety one quarter audiobook is corrections and we are also under order to a long term plan for dealing with the conditions of confinement for the mentally ill inmates in the short term debt on and so on ninety one and kind of an idea of what that would

mean so many mentally inmates are there currently in the correction system and a gentleman emily alone an identified about two hundred and fifty media that we have now in london about a m de force more dangerous people and more indeed acute what's happening with those inmates right now before this a new program that started

and immigration one of the women and we weren't well logan and patient and we worked with him on a developing a program that will give the inmate out of their hotel or five hours a day and they are not simply more so what's the

proposal we wanted to treat oh wow and be able to deport him that that will get them far more than what our day the annual most mondays is going to cost hero him bought maytag issues that we are going to finance one of the things that

we are putting a lot of the earlier incident here and knowing exactly how much money that point so ad displayed on enormous didn't really know what i would be at a royal get airplay what it going to be are really we really i don't have to remember country a lot tomorrow part two of my conversation with bill maher skull in the kansas department of

corrections will be discussing another deadline for the state by july first nineteen ninety one k s p e n t s iras overcrowding must be totally eliminated and the biggest stumbling block right now is the lawsuit concerning the zoning of bell the radio site chosen as the place to build a new maximum security prison more on those details tomorrow during the day i'm nancy finken you know and in that week at that point

during an appeal is likely there we go the nineteen eighty nine kansas legislature approved a permanent source of funding to the tune of about sixty million dollars annually for the state water plan the funding sources are fees levied for municipal water use industrial water use stark water use pesticide fees fertilizer fees that pollution fines and penalty receipts economic development initiatives which means lottery dollars and the state general fund the state water plan covers a lot of different areas of need such as

contamination prevention land treatment programs small like finding water studies cheyenne bottoms and others the funding on a yearly basis will set the priorities which area gets financial attention first and how much money each area will get because water is such a hot topic in kansas and elsewhere began does natural resources council has scheduled some information or hearings in different areas so concerned citizens can ask some questions about the water plant can i see spokesperson charlene steen says the legislature's funding in nineteen eighty nine is a major accomplishment i think that if i mean beyond that was put together with an excellent toward making real progress on implementing projects around the state we have substantial water protection and water conservation needs to be addressed in kiev with an r it was an intimate way

the problem here is we don't have enough money to keep coming back every year i think more money more money in fact that it caught a lot of money to clean up contaminated sites the critical importance well i think if it does that and if i do think that for the governor and i think that led to fight if that's true it probably an environment why do you think that this year of all years we've finally got something done as you say for the environment well i think a couple of things about an international environmental issue that

captured public contract welcomed parent household known about global warming and i did it offill remember what it looked like was never with all kinds of our medical wave washing up on beaches and eve troeh we had a presidential election in which you have to pay a very very powerful visual and on the right they were beginning of the country people are beginning to flee at that the damage that we're doing here we're not taking the beginning that we didn't have suddenly an important

politically earlier this week jk nic sponsored a hearing in wichita where citizens could come forward and ask questions to panel members have described duffy he is the assistant director of the kansas water office james power was also on the panel he's the director of the division of environment and the kansas department of health and environment tracy streeter is a conservation coordinator at the state conservation commission and steve sorenson is the region for supervisor for the kansas department of wildlife and parks stiller says lots of good questions and in depth questions were asked of these perilous you want to write and

so you write can we have that kind of probability in kenya buy water rights and can't have and what does that mean if you buy water rights hero they like property right i am very very candid discussion get out of a lot of the issues involved with the oglala aquifer and the depletion of the oglala who has ended oh really we are a mining family for years mm hmm

and encourage you caller it is what impact the economy it had come up on farming and then he doesn't believe in community a village you sen landrieu says do it again and again no way third game which have

paid critic ken good to hear you know the chronic pain or lose its conclusion why is that a good way to keep people thinking i think you might have seen a study that was released two weeks ago indicating that prompted a state where people play pay a flat fee for their water and they hire a day where a proper standards as a second public information meeting and state water plan funding issues will be held in haze on august first third meeting is planned for early september in cell line at stanford says in the meantime if you have some

questions about water it uses its contamination levels or safety in the state there are other places you can check out where to go and what i want to know like how about a label if you want to know what's in your drinking water you can call it wasn't a report on it and if you have a moment to quell any ideological divide program but the continent

that it you know well no well put charlene steen or as the spokesperson for the kansas national resource council in hutchinson i'm nancy finken recent rains in kansas may be helping milo and corn but as for wheat and cattle the damage in some places has already been done everything has testified before both the us house and us senate ag committees for drought relief money for

kansas farmers and ranchers began to slice doug association has also pressed congress for help came la spokesman tod dormer says his group is asking congress to understand that the dry weather even know it's recently subsided has to drastically cut the state department created by about and worry about and help like i mean the stands and hands you ready

donors as the k l a is asking for financial assistance to some of those problems such as for farmers have had a drill wells revamp old abandoned wells and style pipelines the rubble or improve springs or renovate windows or excavate ponds all of this they say costs a lot of money one in kansas ranchers were faced with a pasture shortage this spring donors as many were forced to sell their herds and that's not something easily rebuilt right

right some cattlemen like dennis fitzpatrick near sterling decided to show to greener pastures i get south dakota or southeast kansas rather than sell because we were twenty or twenty five years ago in keeping with that effort back each year and people were calling that way in record are pretty apparent to talk about but you know we played over years and years to get a proper because you keep calling out the week when a while to get there they can't as livestock association is asking congress for financial help for ranchers who've had to ship their cattle out of the state to graze

or for people who have to do extra things just to get water in hutchinson i'm nancy finken fb it does want assistance of the season is at montclair nj on it are walled write her a hundred old pressure thanks for taking a few minutes go ahead and start recording how does the senate turbulent areas next exit only viewed as an opportunity number one to get our message out center dollars over and one cello is much bigger than people want to hear what he has to say as republican leader in the senate so we're inundated with requests person or gold speak to groups it was

and no agreement i want it if there's even a hint of any kind of conflict as far as pending legislation and you know in that particular group goes directly to charity and number two coal i was now when he speaks to groups in kansas testy accept an area know and this is just from groups outside the state

my my point out the board nineteen eighty eight hundred all donated more than four hundred thousand dollars to charities most of them in kansas and most of them were for disabled groups and again question one and what we wanted committee money from special interest group or big labor east thirties close associations know that some people might say oh let's special interest money to older ways to stay on tour is better than paper money and one understands from common causes that's taking our area whether you give it to charity or not there's an appearance that your you're

being bought almost that's ridiculous things are dollars or is going to be barred for some group a luncheon group in washington friends as you just spoke to the support information's directors of america as best we can know no one was that they at the sports information directors of america of water bottles opponents of the issue because he spoke to the metal launcher not a sunday afternoon at a ridiculous comment called common cause grease is going around the country senators like nancy kassebaum are or bob dole and yet common cause is one of the biggest lobby groups only underscore that lobby groups they are a full time professional spencer special interest lobby group that spent billions and billions and billions of dollars we want to spend the money for in poland hungary either you know

they can't be a you know the so called nonprofit good at the same time did not have their special interest lobby group they have their own agenda pushing very effective get out there to get to radio stations in kansas wherever it might be and they're so the seabed your senators are bad people because they're speaking to sports information directors of america whatever the group that got a ridiculous it's really a shame that they have to get as much attention as they do because there are very well heeled powerful special interest liberal lobbying group that spent a lot of money trying to influence congress is this an internal for a ban on our area the new id there is perhaps some kind of adjustment across the borderland and some adjustment route certainly congress executive branch of the judiciary as well

and as well to look at campaign finance reform but senator dole is also leading the fight to cut back on political action committee in point you wanted to make a big big fuss about honoraria but you don't want to do anything about the tax you know a beach boys were various merits of their way across the board and your takeaways of black influence and adjust salaries a little bit and just draw about the honorary the year or two then how would he would he i'll make up for some of their monies it is given to charity of his salary where justin that some of us our area it is going towards charity and that's why the good points with that then totally be abandoned well the again you know the problem is that common cause they don't care about charity and they don't care at all about kansas know what they care about is pushing their own agendas of that is okay let's get rid of honorary up because some guy in common causes all bad it's all

horrible and senator dole be able or other senators will be able to target money to charities half a billion dollars went into groups and following that money back home to the cherries in kansas common causes that's no good guys bad special interest is poetry so we will it hurts so stop that people blog on that outlet and who are the big losers and more than the fact that the point is that there's a bob wills was for sale because he speaks to some rivers totally and actually ridiculous the people of kansas motel i guess what i'm asking is if we somehow adjust salary increases as you are just hours as you mentioned and somehow phase out our area and bob dole would be in support of that then where do the charity's fit in if he's in support of sometime phasing out our area while adjusting salaries but just say a cherished probably sell for senegal certainly will continue you know all the good work that we can do

but they get it there is every time that letting orbiting honoraria or income mr ip sure you know you're right you said that's about seventy five percent of his honorary away to charity and then i'm not as i understand that they can keep the senators can keep forty percent of their salary i'm talking about that you know if his salary is thirty five eight i guess of night in nineteen eighty eight forty percent of his salary could be accepted an honorary a correct ok i'm just trying to understand where there is a limit on how much each some attorneys represent

so the question is if if that if there is a percentage which there is forty percent of his salary is the toll now he can accept an area that's what he can take into his own personal account and if he takes any about that that can be given to charity in all of it could be given to charity bad time so does he take the forty percent usually and then once over and above that hideous attorney on ms ba over the last five years he's accepted up to the limit and some years and not in the other though the words for instance the night at forty two percent of his honorary want to charity nineteen thirty three percent a nineteen eighty six

seventy three percent so it has varied but he has you know he has kept some money which of course he has to pay taxes on like anybody else kelley thanks for him he was known to give him or your time then that is actually necessary that the tape going to tell me a little bit about as far about this plan to roll with it as i understand it you're the head of citizens for cycling write an account for her june cleaver stayed home carol brady stayed home and so did margaret anderson tv wife on father knows best but times have changed and while many families don't have only one parent working outside the home are growing number have dual

career marriages with children social worker with the rise of the mental health center and hutchinson laura wood says expectations have also changed fifteen or twenty years ago when a woman had a child a quote unquote which it was seen as in eighty five you go to work you leave your work and you come home is the net trying to attending a career when the careers careers are not easily eighty five they involve hours and evenings and weekends professional development furthering education is a lot of pressure on women not just perform well but to succeed wood says women can easily get bogged down trying to overextend themselves i think it's unrealistic to think that we can do while things perfectly in our lives how many women feel that they must have a house it's ready to be photographed by house beautiful house and garden that they should be on the fast track in their career they should be allow parents and spouses a pillar

of the community active socially and doing quote meaningful activities in the community i think that the fact remains that some things that we can't do all those things a hundred percent in our expectations but to do that perfectly and realistic i read an article recently that the gist of it was how to stirring things ok how about just doing doing well thanks that's after that it's no wonder that working mothers have sometimes been labeled superman's but even superman's wood says need time to take out for themselves i consider another deadly brinson says she knows taking time out for yourself is important but it's not easy to do with a primetime three you know we don't find very often it also has another part time job which keeps very busy that's highly how lonely is usually as long as we get is like an evening meal

we may have existed to visit talk about some things i am or after them is in our cities are watching them is during the commercials or whenever there is and when working mothers tried it where so many different hats certain emotions rise and fall the strongest seems to be guilt it's hard to leave a newborn baby in someone else's care after a brief six weeks of maternity leave it's hard not to attend each pta meeting in school and it's also hard not to live up to expectations society has placed on women when it comes to giving a spotless house and homemade meals each day but lo wang says it's natural to feel guilty guild doesn't reduce anxiety and stress but it is carmen i think guilt in working mothers just go hand in hand i can't think of any other that i know who has as killing in a career i can think of one that ever told me she's never felt guilty at some time or another that comes up sometime thinking come out fairly early

that first moment back on the job after pregnancy legally leave your child daycare with a babysitter is usually emotionally traumatic and then you had other moments of drama the day your child as yo mom can you please tomorrow common dr valentine party and you can't you can be an italian something else scheduled wedding i get your child cries because you're going to miss a school function because you're working hours demanding you be gone if it's very very difficult to manage to not feel guilty one says parents should try to schedule time with their children much like they scheduled a business appointment she also says managing stress can be done to relaxation and meditation getting adequate amount of sleep and consuming a healthy diet in hutchinson yes and they would have to go on and on for the

regular trash spot for weeks we will capture the commercial rap colors and the people are like me that my my landlord of thinking that the person that they've hired to take everything away and told that my grand jury will be composted out there but i'm not sure as muse ok c c in hutchinson will be you'll probably hear yourself today between twelve twelve thirty i'd let it also be a twelve ten or twelve twenty but edward ninety point one on near fm dial and i have an interview with joe animals make some comments from you and then of course i'll be bridging the whole thing to get right in debbie

bernstein is the director of the retired senior volunteer program at hutchinson community college she and her husband dennis an elementary school principal have two children like almost every career mom debbie sometimes gets pulled in all different kinds of directions with one child school age and the other still in diapers reclining is essential i always try to remember to take the diapers in one eye care units like when i got to take him out it take the new box of diapers and sometimes i forget so it's like monday morning and i've got a take john and the diaper bag and the big box of diapers all in it incredible that i am amazed myself i am doing things than i would have never thought that i would do you know i try when i can be cooked meals and paints and i've never been on domestic but i'm doing a lot of things that are i never thought i could to bernstein's children are about five years apart and she says she gets a lot out for my husband i'm for sale are up in a lot of respects because

i'm married to a workaholic and he gets a stance that stance is still so he is like always doing the laundry in that area the lander is really his department he does it doesn't want a laundry at all what's it's wonderful for me i am i don't see him claiming cancer tumors or prepare meals too often to do those kinds of things that certainly you know he is he is always held with changing diapers and getting bass and those kinds of things and its been a great help and he is mr clean he likes the place clean cr he tears his sphere although things are not always clean anymore at all when syria was delighted at the time sue as soon as the train five it was becoming more independent daily habits out in his forties his five month old and certainly yeah it's like i forgot you know how dependent as little

babies and so it's to investigate instead of one your mom's got a lot to juggle laura words as a social worker horizons mental health center and hutchinson she says the main pressure for working women is the feeling that a woman has to be everything to everybody they have to function and analysts and one function well they are also wise and then when it performed on that area and take care of the house and cook had also want to be a good mother good parent many times people in addition to those basic areas also are active in church organizations how he's so what we have is when they're going about fifty different directions on any given day it's very stressful wood says women often take on the role of emotional caretaker and family so they want to make sure that everyone in their family is doing well and they are very quick to rescue people emotionally now is afraid to say no to that will hurt someone's feelings or that they're not being helpful by saying no i'm
