Mom is in charge. Like dad has authority but he defers to mom on stuff a lot.

Dad was the titular head, but Mom was always the very obvious power behind the crown -- the one who kept the machinery of the family working and the primary disciplinarian.

@beckychandler: My family was this way too with mom home all the time she ran the day to day house but her authority clearly came from her husband and my dad.

Me (Mom) although I let Dad think he is. 😀Actually I believe in traditional gender roles --[i]“The Council on Contemporary Families at the University of Texas-Austin recently released the results of some studies that indicate young people's views on gender roles in marriage are trending towards the traditional 'male as breadwinner and female as homemaker' paradigm.”[/i][b] ~ Louann Riely[/b], in [b]“I've Been A Homemaker For 35 Years. Despite What Feminists Say, Here's Why I Have Never Regretted It.” [/b]– Read the whole thing here: [c=#BF0000]http://bit.ly/2oC8xx9[/c]

@beckychandler: The move back to traditional gender roles is a great development.

@beckychandler: A family is not something you run by committee! Someone needs to be the boss and their word needs to be final

Lisette · 31-35, F
Mine is a straight up control freak although she would never admit that
ASouthernGentleman · 31-35, M
What happens if you argue with her? @Lisette
My mother for the most part
Dad was away working a lot so it was mom.

Theoretically, both. In actuality, dad worked a full-time job while mom worked a part-time job, so mom.
MedicFun · 46-50, M
Mom did a great job of letting dad think he was in charge... does that help?
anderst · 46-50, M
it was my mom and she was a control freak too
WeighedDown · 36-40, M
Haha you think I had a dad..
Mugin16 · 46-50, M
Why is that?
Neither---or both. That's one thing that was always clear to us growing up, theirs has been a partnership between [b]equals[/b].
