BATTLE OF THE SEXES
Dear Battle of the Sexes:
My wife complains that I never help around the house, and I admit I could do a lot more. But every time I try to pitch in and help, she follows me around, watches and criticizes what I do, then finishes doing it herself. Her pickiness is driving me a bit nuts. I mean, really, what difference does it make how the towels are folded? At least they ' re out of the laundry basket. Who even sees them in the closet? Sorry, but I just don ' t feel our home needs to look like it ' s out of a magazine just to impress our neighbors and friends. Maybe she should just chill, so we can actually enjoy living in it.
Dear Battle of the Sexes:
- Frustrated husband, Blanchard
Why is it women can dye their hair, wear makeup, and use all kinds of skin creams to look younger, but men are made to feel embarrassed when they wear a toupe or try to do something about balding? I am a relatively young guy with lousy genes, I guess, but I ' m determined to do something about it. Yet, my girlfriend and family are trying to talk me out of getting a hair transplant, telling me to " deal with it " and " accept myself the way I am." If I wanted their opinions, I ' d ask. But here ' s some advice- if you want to be helpful toward a loved one, be supportive of whatever they want to do, as long as it doesn ' t hurt anyone anyone else.
