BATTLE OF THE SEXES
Dear Battle of the Sexes : Don ' t ever ask a male to find something - it will just frustrate you to no end . There should be a law that requires guys to live by themselves for at least a year so they can learn to be self-sufficient and actually know where items are to be placed in a household . It is just amazing that men are so clueless about where everyday things are , like a can opener , superglue , the hamper , etc . About the only thing you can count on them to know is - you guessed it - where the remote is !

Dear Battle of the Sexes :
I am a stay-at-home dad who continuously faces reverse discrimination ! When I take my kids to the park during regular work hours , women mostly ignore me , but when they do talk , they mostly say insulting things , like , " is your wife sick ?" or " can ' t you find a job ?" Men are even worse . I feel like I should be embarrassed to admit that I actually enjoy staying home and taking care of the children , and I guess , in a way , I am , in front of other people . But this is what ' s best for our family and this is what both my wife and I want for our family - for our children . What I want is for people to stop trying to make me feel guilty about it .
