great teaser it is awesome
That's really cool! Great teaser, Fish!
Awesome teaser! I'll send it to my mom, lol.
Brilliant teaser!
That is a really nice teaser. Thanks for sharing it with me.
Easy, but I don't know if "father" and "mother" are exactly opposites of each other.
Very fine anagram teaser. Loved it!
EXCELLENT!!!!
Fantastic teaser! Brilliant anagrams! Really great!
Another superb teaser Fishmed, must have taken a lot of thought to come up with it. I salute you. Thanks for posting. (by the way, I didn't get it right.)
Super teaser! amazing anagrams.
Good one Fishy. You amaze me. Thanks
very interesting! liked it!
this is cool!! couldn't figure it out though! i sent it to my bf! LOL!
great teaser. Good job
I don't consider Father and Mother as being opposites. But I liked this teaser
Have to agree with crazy man.
Very good teaser. For those who feel the need to unnecessarily search for fault in other's accomplishments, please explain how you don't understand what was meant in this short riddle by "opposite".
I agree with crazyman and best girl.To jonngalt what do you consider an accomplishment? Surely not a brain teaser. I consider an opposite as black and white. Mother and Father are not opposites. Period!
Not everyone considers them opposites, but as they are two sides to what most consider a 'normal' family, many people call their spouse their 'opposite number', and they say opposites attract, so this would fit also. It's all really a difference of opinion. I am glad that those who liked it did, and those that didn't, I hope you like others. TTFN.
I'm more puzzled by the commenters who are SO offended on behalf of the writer. There is a certain degree to which we profess knowledge when we make such a (puzzle) submission to a public forum, and being open to critique should come with the territory.
My pet peeve is mainly when the puzzle is itself misleading in some way. None of us is perfect and it's all meant to be for fun. The writer seemed cool about the challenges to the "opposite" issue so no harm done.
No need to suppress honest polite challenges in my opinion.

cool teaser - i liked it a lot. sure, mother and father may not be polar opposites, but they are parents of the opposite sex, so i think it worked.
Yaaay, I got it and when I figured out "mother" I asked myself what is opposite of mother? Of course "father" was obviously the opposite. One female, the other male. What is not opposite about that? My parents were sure opposites in all ways.
nice puzzle; my parents could not have been more "opposite"!!
Saw this one before. HAPPY EASTER everyone.
Glad you guys liked it. Happy Easter to you all. He is Risen!

Good teaser.
I gave it tops for fun.
And I tend to ignore most all the negative critiques.

Enjoy it for what it is. Lighten up.

Thanks!

Clever!
didn't get the puzzle at all! But fun nontheless.
Thanks again.
This is my third comment on this teaser. Now in 2017, I am thinking I find love in the words father and mother, but I never felt passion for them. My husband, yes, my parents, hardly!
I'm with Babe on this one -- love my parents, yes; feel passion for them, no.
Although passion can be construed as lust or intense amourous feelings, these are not the primary dictionary definitions. Passion can just be very strong emothion. People are passionate about politics, music, and brain teasers. I am passionate about my entire family.
Mother and Father are not opposites in my book, but I'm not complaining.
I liked this teaser. This is one of those trivia factoids that it is good to keep in mind to pull out at those opportune moments.
Fun teaser!

TERRIBLE ( X 18 ) setup/hint
Another fun and easy teaser. I enjoyed it even though it was even easier than yesterday's teaser.
Glad you liked it, for those who did. Sorry to the others. As to the passion for parents, it's more the passion that they would have for each other to become your parents, not your passion for them.
And while you are at it, check out my other teasers. Thanks again.
I'd forgotten about this one. Glad it came back up. I like these kinds of anagrams that are related and self referential. This is a terrific one.
And as Fishmed suggested, I am going to check out their teasers.
