Do men make a naturally better stay at home parent in this day and age?

Q. In the modern workforce, women seem more suited to the office routine, social scene and nature of much of the repetetive work. Men today, while staying home are more apt to keep the children active, can become adept at most housekeeping skills, and perform other home maintenance duties that women typically refuse to do. Also, in most families, fathers handle most of the discipline. Should women now work to support a husband and children?

A. Like Helena said, natural roles are myths. You should figure what your strong points are and apply them in life. Some women are more suited to be a stay-at-home mom and some are not. Same goes for men. Some are suited to be a stay-at-home dad while some are not. And some men shouldn't get married or father children at all. Vasectomy is the best option for them.

Is there a book for new homeowners that breaks things down month by month?

Q. We just bought our first home and I am looking for something that tells when I should do each type of home maintenance. Like I know I should clean chimney and gutters in the fall, but how often do I get the furnance cleaned or change the filter. Stuff like that.

Q. Basically I want to do basic home vehicle maintenance course, learn how to check fluid levels, change a battery, jump start a car, change a tyre, change wind wipers, changes spark plugs and a basic fault finding guide if I break down somewhere.

A. Have you tried googling "Car maintenance courses Melbourne". I found one short course offered at Swinbourne. If that one is not appropriate, then you could continue the search a bit further through the google list that comes up. Good luck. It's a good idea to have a knowledge of how to do those basic things.
