DEAR ABBY: My father began dating four years after my mother passed away from a terrible bout with can- cer. He and I have always been close; in fact, I have always considered him to be one of my best friends. But since he started dating he has changed.

I just traveled across the country for a family funeral and discovered that he has a new love in his life, and that he ew her out to see all of our extended family. My dying grandmother got to meet her, but I even know her name! When I expressed to him that I felt he had cut me out entirely, it made him angry. Apparently, he and this woman have been dating for almost a year. I had always imagined that when Dad met someone, his kids would be the rst people he would want to call and share with. It has been a bitter pill to swallow knowing that my father would so brazenly disregard his daughter.

He told me he know why he had cut me out and ignored me. But we seem to get over it. We have gone from calling and texting daily to not speaking in months. What was an easy rela- tionship is now awkward and uncomfortable, and at a loss about how to it. ABANDONED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR ABANDONED: Having never met your father, hard to guess why he would behave the way he has.

That you could have communi- cated almost daily and have no clue about what was going on makes it obvious that it was no oversight. Not all are accepting of a new woman in a life, even if he has been widowed for a long time. possible you were kept in the dark because he was afraid of how you would react. No one can blame you for feeling the way you do. Your father mishan- dled this, and I am sorry for your pain.

A step to- ward xing this would be to try to forgive him, and to move forward by tell- ing him you want him to be happy. DEAR ABBY: When I am in a frenzy preparing to host a party and one of the guests calls a few minutes before arrival time to say they are going to be late, I get really an- noyed. I think, please just BE late and bother me when putting the nishing touches on ev- erything or welcoming other guests. I assume these indi- viduals are trying to be considerate, and if they were the only guest com- ing, I agree they should call. But if they are one of many, a distraction to have to answer the phone and listen to their ex- cuse.

Am I wrong? I know if the only one who gets annoyed when this happens. Am I being ungrateful when someone is trying to be consid- erate? FRENZIED IN GEORGIA DEAR FRENZIED: I think so. Your guest is trying to be polite and is afraid that you will worry. (Fat chance!) This an unusual occurrence, but a charming host will not reveal annoyance. It takes only a second to reply, see you when you get and get the phone.

Daughter is last to learn of new love in life JEANNE PHILLIPS Dear Mr. Dad: In one of your re-cent columns, you took a swipe at Title IX, which most people think has done a great job of bringing equity to college sports. You even called it I see what there is to complain about. Please explain. Thank you for ask- ing.

right: I did complain about Title IX and I did, indeed, refer to it as And I stand by that. why. Title IX passed in 1972, in an era when males outnumbered females on college campuses and when collegiate sports barely existed. The idea was to ensure that person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be ex- cluded from participa- tion in or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Fed- eral financial notice that the text mention sports; more on that in a minute. As you suggest, Title IX produced some dra- matic and very positive results in increasing opportunities for female athletes.

Before Title IX, about 1 in 27 girls played sports; today, about 10 times that many. Over the same period, the sex ratio of college stu- dents has also changed, going from more than 50 percent male in the early 1970s to nearly 60 percent female today. However, since, a greater percentage of males than females participate in athletics, Title in- sistence on (the idea that the percentage of male and female student athletes must be the same as the percentages of male and female students in the institution as a whole), has required institutions to cut sports teams in order to achieve com- pliance. More than 400 college teams have been eliminated, according to athleticscholarships.net. So here are my ques- tions: Why is it that only sports, where males out- number females, are be- ing cut? Remember, Title original language mention sports, only pro- and What about programs and activities where girls outnumber boys? According to the Na- tional Center for Edu- cation Statistics, more than twice as many high school senior girls as boys (13 percent vs.

6 percent) are on news- paper or yearbook; 62.5 percent more girls than boys (13 percent vs. 8 percent) are involved in student council or government; 63 percent more girls than boys (31 percent vs 19 percent) participate in music or performing arts; and 58 percent more girls than boys (19 percent vs. 12 percent) are involved in academic clubs. Now, to be clear, not suggesting that we reduce the number of girls who can participate in yearbook, student government, orchestra, or academic clubs. In- stead, we need to look at student participation in ALL extracurricular activities together.

If we do that and we take into account what stu- dents have shown that they want to do instead of trying to socially engi- neer I think find that a lot less discrimination than been led to believe. Ultimately, I think time to either repeal Title IX or at the very least, drag it into the 21st century and make sure it reflects the needs of to- men, women, boys, girls and institutions. We can and must do better. Follow Armin Brott on Twitter, or send email to mrdad.com. Title IX: A good thing gone bad ARMIN BROTT ASK MR.
