    Dear Dr Seuss,
    not a nice thing to do.
    We do not expect, this behavior from you.
    Not from The Cat, or from Pop or from Hop,
    This kind of thing,
    Just needs to stop!
    You have brains in your head,
    You have feet in your shoes
    You can do so much better,
    If you so choose.
    You should not, could not, in the rain.
    Not in the dark. Not on the train.
    We do not like this here or there.
    We do not like this behaviour, ANYWHERE!

    Let me say Theodore Geisel
    Was the most unpleasant person. I say this at being 67 years old and when I was in fourth grade approximately nine years old, I visited my friend Ann’s grandmother‘s house. We were playing outside and this man’s house was next-door I suppose has happy children we were running around laughing. It must’ve annoyed him. He started throwing things across from his property. at us , including sticks…we went in and told Ann‘s grandmother and she said us to stay away from that nasty man he’s nothing but a problem. I have always remembered that and as I grew up and had children, we never had any of the Dr. Seuss books in my house because I think this guy was nothing but a bum.
    True story.

      He was most definitely NOT the man that has been glorified.

      This is a ridiculous takedown of Seuss. Nearly a quarter of married men and 15% of married women admit to having affairs. Nearly half first marriages and two thirds of second marriages end in divorce. Seuss didn't divorce his wife, he remarried after she died and remained married until his death. He could have 'lived in sin' with Audrey Dimond but he chose to marry her. If this is what constitutes the 'terrible behaviour' alluded to - then a huge proportion of Americans are guilty as charged.

      The second wife had said, even before sending her daughters away, she had been “the type of mother she regretted but she didn’t live with regret.” She made no secret that she had never liked being a mother. Her daughters were probably better off at boarding school than with a mother who felt no shame in publicly stating how much she disliked children.

      That is unforgivable. My husband gave me an ultimatum in 2015, either I cut off all contact with my adult son who suffers from schizophrenia, or he would leave.
      He gave me 24 hours to decide, but I told him I don't even need a minute to make that decision. I basically told him, "Don't let the screen door hit ya where the good Lord split ya!"
      He left and moved in with his girlfriend. I suspected for years that they were more than coworkers, so I was not the least bit surprised to find out my suspicions were correct.
      My son has lived with me since 2019, and I've been able to get him help for his mental illness. He's doing well on medication, and he is a joy to be around. I can't say that about my ex. NO ONE is missing him around here! Even my sweet dog hated him.
      I have no respect for any parent who abandons their children for a spouse. I'm glad she ended up having to take care of that nasty old man when his body failed him. She made that choice.

I mean, the Meso-Americans captured people and cruelly sacrificed them -- yet their architecture was grand; the Egyptians & Greeks had slaves -- yet they had wonderful art. It's the same with the painters & musicians & authors of every era. A lot of them were debouched or dirt-bags -- openly or secretly. But I choose to believe that, for most of them, at the moment they were creating something beautiful, they were usually drawing from the beauty they had deep within them -- even if this reservoir of niceness was just one little swan-graced pond in the middle of their mind's boundless noxious swamp. No doubt artists also often channel the beauty of the people they know, or of the world around them. It's like taking a picture... Have you ever cared who took it?
      Ultimately, you might think of art as being freed from its maker once it's finished being created. It often outlives them, is better than them, and deserves to be judged on its own merits.

    I worked in a daycare many years ago and we were celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday all week, it was something the director did every year. I dreaded it because I never, even as a child liked his books. As the director and I are preparing to kick off the Dr. Seuss week with story time, she reaches for the chosen book as she says under her breath, "I hate Dr. Seuss..." I laughed so hard that I almost fell off of my teeny tiny chair....LOL. His style doesn't appeal to everyone.

      I disagree , because trust is the foundation to be able to love freely. If this love is betrayed, cut the offender from your heart , have a good cry, get your ducks in order and get on with your life. Life is short, live it to your fullest, find a lover if you wish, find your passion. Sometimes, the plant must be pruned to be healthy, that is life, understand that fact. To love freely and deeply to a lover gives Joy in life, if you have been true and your lover false- take it as a lesson , get up off your knees dry your tears and start the best revenge- you making a new life for yourself and loving life again. ❤❤❤

He had her stay in a small cottage behind his house, probably when he was married to Helen. One night she was astounded to find him in her room attempting to seduce her. She pushed him away, told him never try that again or she'd expose him. After gaining employment she saved to move up to SF. In the late 60's she met and befriended my sister when they worked at St. Mary's Clinic, When I moved to SF in 1970, I met her and she told me about the mind boggling incident.

I found out, after many years, that most women my age were in the same boat, regardless of social status or nationality. It was the times. The 60's were rough to grow up in, especially for women. Helen had nothing else in her life but her marriage, and when that failed, she had nothing. I have to agree with what others have said here, don't invest everything in a man.

    From Dr. Suess to Stephen King, it seems aspiring professional writers back then had more opportunities. They would write stories, mail them into various magazines and periodicals, someone there would actually read the submission, and decide whether to pay and publish. King even recalls a rejection letter that said something like "your story is good, just not for us....but keep at it". Nowadays it seems you have to already be somewhat successful or famous to get published. "No unsolicited manuscripts". Most folks don't even get a chance. Sad.

      Since the 90s though when Indy publishers were going out of business and then the big bookstores boomed then busted it became easy to self publish a vanity press and grow one’s own social media following-the publishing houses then get information from agents by authors who have already sold X amount of books

      So true! I have sent dozens and dozens of query letters to literary agents and publishers, and 90% don’t even bother with a reply.
      The 10% that do reply give a canned response that says, “not accepting inquiries at this time.”
      I have two books which were self published and have been very successful.
      Even after the books were successful, I still couldn’t get a literary agent to represent me.
      So I continue on my own, but yes, the publishing world doesn’t work unless you’re a politician or a celebrity.

    my father had many affairs which led to my mother's illness and alcoholism, or did my mom's illness lead to my father's wandering, i was to young to know, no one is here to talk with me about it without exacting bias, we did not make the newspaper's, we are not celebrities etc. it happens everywhere, whether the persons are artists ,engineers or factory workers. I try so hard to find the good that both parents/ all people give to the world, of course this does not always work and I beg for tears to wash away those other thoughts.

    Theodor Seuss Geisel only achieved a Bachelor's Degree from Dartmouth. He did go on with post graduate studies, but never completed them. He was given an honorary doctorate degree by Dartmouth in the mid 50s as his popularity grew, but he had actually anointed himself and added the Doctor title to his name before receiving his honorary degree. Curiously enough, no one questioned nor challenged him about this. He used the Dr. title to gain better public acceptance to his children's books. The parents and educators assumed that he had the educational requirements and experience to "educate" children, when in fact he couldn't stand being around them.

      @@christigoth The Dr. title is protected by law. People are prosecuted for fraud for misrepresentation, including their academic credentials, as we have seen in some high profile cases..
      Back when Seuss did it, as did others who misrepresented themselves for financial gain and social acceptance & elevation, laws and prosecution were more Loosey Goosey. People also commonly rewrote their family history, changed their names and embellished their lineage. In most cases, that does not break any laws, but it brushes up against it depending on the purpose of doing this.
      Common for male authors to employ female names and vice versa, or any name you choose. Still happens.
