BATTLE OF THE SEXES
Dear Battle of the Sexes : I know that Christmas is not about presents , but it would be nice to get something from my husband that doesn ' t look like he bought the first thing he saw in the store . I don ' t care how inexpensive the item is as long as it looks like he took some time to decide if I would actually like it or not . I shop for everyone else , even his family , and it takes months . So it ' s a little offensive to me that he doesn ' t put more effort into shopping for me . A little thought would go a long way to making me feel appreciated . Let ' s see if he rises to the occasion for Valentine ' s Day !

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 .
