BATTLE OF THE SEXES

Dear Battle of the Sexes :
I love the holidays , but am always glad when they ' re over so my marriage can go back to normal . I do all the shopping , cooking , and cleaning to get our family ready for Christmas , yet , every year , my husband complains how stressful this season is . And what is he stressed about ? Having to go shopping - for me ! That ' s it ! That ' s the only person he shops for ! And to make matters worse , he waits till a few days before the holidays , when the stores are crazy and crowded . I ' d like to see how stressed he ' d be if he did a third of what I do this time of year . I even told him not to bother - I don ' t need any more stuff - but I could use an extra hand .

Dear Battle of the Sexes : Why do women analyze everything so deeply ? I swear , my wife reads into everything . No one can say anything without her trying to read between the lines and make more out of it . Maybe women play games ike that , but most of the men I know aren ' t that deep . If they say they want to just stay home and catch a game on TV , it doesn ' t mean they don ' t find you attractive , they don ' t love you anymore , or that they don ' t enjoy your company , and so on . It just means they want to watch a game . So stop making up problems where there just aren ' t any .
