WHOS'S THE BOSS?

Normally my wife handles the day to day decisions of running the house. All big decisions are talked about and decided together. I seldom see a 50-50 split though, usually 60-40 one way or the other.

Quote

I think 60-40 is a better split. No one should be in charge all of the time, but should be an equal share of the time. Does that make sense?

Quote

Life is a series of compromises Pat. It's what makes the world go round.

well, I wear(wore) the pants but only long enough to say yes dear, you're right dear.

Quote

Is that known as kitty whipped? joking of course. I'm the boss, whenever she's not.

same here, the small every day decisions of the house are done by me. Anything huge, we talk about it and come to an agreement. :)

I also am the master of my own house as long as it's ok with Winnie..

LOL @ your edit in mid flight right while I was going to quote you on it.

um...I was going to say it depends on who you ask. But I think I like blaza's answer better.

I once threw my pants on the floor and told mine if she could wear 'em, more power to her, and she took me up on the offer and we've never looked back.

I thought I'd better do a quickie on the edit. lol Beth.

In our life here on the farm, it's like this; I run the house, and ask him for (or he volunteers) adivice or whatever if and when needed.

He runs the farming end of things and asks for (ditto above).....

But all major decisions are discussed 50/50.

Quote

In all reality, that's the way it should be. 50/50 works for me(us).

It's just a busy, hectic time of year Pat. Sounds pretty nice for CT. We have 72 and sunny here in AZ. Gets just a teeny bit nippy of a morning, but this is what I love about this state. The winters are so sweet compared to what I grew up in back east.

Howdy fella.

Wow, Jess and bethy the only females to brave this territory yet? LOL

Well, I hate to admit it, but my husband rules the roost... But I rule the Rooster!!! LMAO

Seriously, I sometimes feel like all the decision-making is left to me, whether it's what's for dinner or if we are going to buy a new vehicle... unfortunately, the latter decisions aren't something that are an option often enough for them to count, period.

We will discuss things, but ultimately, I sometimes feel that everything's left up to me. Believe it or not, I don't like that.

And... Hey ya'll!!!!! ** waving **

Quote

Me.

Oh the joys of being single. :)

Hey ya girlfriend. Waves back at Angie and it's been, I've lost track, but doing great without those nasties still. Yes!

Today started out kinda roughly, but I suppose it's gotten a bit better... at least for now... temperamental teenagers... the rule book says you gotta love 'em... right???

Pros and Cons in everything, 'vella... LOL

I personally get tired of having to make every decision. I told G that if I wanted to make all the decisions, and take care of everything on my own, then what was the point in not being "on my own"... ya know???

and hey, watch it with the age thing, will ya? I'm sensitive to the truth right now! omg. I'm going to be 45 this month.... then I start thinking "oh great ...that's only 5 years away from the big FIVE OH" and my brain runs away with it's own thoughts from there, no control.

Yup yup.... I told my son today once we were speaking again after one of his regular "I am grown" tantrums that I think my resolution this New Years will be to start smoking again... I'm kidding... kinda... but this kid is making me lost my mind
