Daisymom2 replied:
Kim, I can already tell you are awesome!!!!!!!

gr33n3y3z replied: its 50/50 here

luvmykids replied:
Same here.

booey2 replied:
Same here but he will admit to "loaning" wink.gif them to me every now and then.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm not afraid to admit that Scotty does regarding most issues. He would say that I do. laugh.gif

CosmetologyMommy replied: UMMM............ME!!!!!!!!!!

Our Lil' Family replied: I think it's about 50/50 here but he has final say in major decisions usually. But he usually decides my way so we're all happy! wink.gif

coasterqueen replied: Wow, that's a tough one. I would say it's 50/50 but I know Dh would say me. happy.gif I would say I do too, but Dh does put his foot down about many things so I don't always get my way. laugh.gif

MyLuvBugs replied: Most definately me. smile.gif

My3LilMonkeys replied: Depends on the issue. I wear the pants when it comes to raising the kids and handling finances. Major decisions are 50/50 and DH controls the little everyday stuff like when to go shopping, where to go for dinner, etc.

kayla's mama replied: I would like to say it is me but no its DH blush.gif . He makes the majority of the desicions.

I like to think I do wink.gif

PrairieMom replied: Me. Although, it is about 80/20. I let him in on the big things, to let him stroke his ego a little! laugh.gif

C&K*s Mommie replied: 50/50 here. Most of the time Chris could careless about things, and leaves the decision making up to me. But if it is a decision that should be made together we do so. Otherwise, it is 'whatever you want, Nicole'. rolleyes.gif

MomToMany replied: Definitely me.

MamaJAM replied: We make all big decisions together....little things whoever gets to it first deals with it.

3_call_me_mama replied: Every decision is made together. And if he doesn't agree.. I pitcha fit and get my way. J/K! We try to make all decisions together (even if it;s just what's for dinner!)

TANNER'S MOM replied: Well I would say major decisions are 50/50...

But usually I make decisions regarding me and the kids...and he takes care of himself!

mysweetpeasWil&Wes replied:
I would have to say the same thing about Rich and I! thumb.gif

moped replied:
Same here I think

50/50

TeagansMom609 replied: IM the boss! LOL. I make all decisions and DH just follows. From whats for dinner to the finances.

Edward's Mommy replied: It really depends on the situation. DH is a big money spender, so I have to put my foot down on his spending habits (it should be the other way around). Well, come to think of it....I guess I DO!!!! Wow! It took me some time to realize it! rolleyes.gif

BAC'sMom replied: I DO....But I wish sometimes he would try them on to see if they fit!

Insanemomof3 replied: James does. Most definetly. I throw fits to get my way sometimes though. LOL blush.gif

Hillbilly Housewife replied:

3_call_me_mama replied: Actually if you asked Cameron he would tell you
"Mommy makes teh rules and daddy makes teh money!" tongue.gif rolling_smile.gif

mckayleesmom replied: Id say its 50/50

kimberley replied:
happy.gif i expected you to say Mckaylee!! rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif j/k

My2Beauties replied: Um - me blush.gif for the most part, DH says I like to be in control blush.gif For big things and if he just really thinks I've went too far he puts his foot down! LOL!

redchief replied: I wear the pants in my family and Lisa said it's okay for me to say so. tongue.gif

mommymonster replied: My fiance is laughing! he just told me "honey, you may were the pants in the family, but I were the boots!' rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif rolling_smile.gif I guess boots have senority over pants? tongue.gif

mummy2girls replied: my DD.. laugh.gif

C&K*s Mommie replied: emlaugh.gif emlaugh.gif

Crystalina replied: It's more like 70/30 in my favor. DH makes the money and I figure out where it should go, when it should go and how much should go. As far as the kids are concerned I do all the maintenance and he does all the playing. He's a big kid himself. I swear sometimes I have 3 children. wub.gif rolling_smile.gif

Dr.SaraWard replied: I do....100%. However, it is cute to watch him think that he's in charge......but in reality he can't be anymore whipped. rolleyes.gif wink.gif

He is 4 years younger than me...so it pretty much explains why.

camneely8 replied: Depends.

Kated replied: tongue.gif LOL my husband thinks he does but the truth is I wear the Pants! banana2.gif

Brias3 replied: It's tough to say. I certainly don't try and "control" him but at the same time, men need SOME sort of guidance to a degree I think (at least my DH does!) Quite honestly, big decisions carry usually a 50/50 but the smaller, day to day stuff I handle. With many things, my husband really isn't around enough to wear the pants 24/7.
