when my mom and dad were still married, it was my mom, most of the time. pretty much, if it was a situation with any of us kids, it was her call. the thing my dad was in charge of was the big money decisions. he decided to sell the car and get a new one without telling my mom, needless to say, she was pretty upset. my mom was the one who allowed me to play "boy" games with my brothers and cousins, which made my dad pretty mad. i am so grateful that it was up to my mom on what we -the kids- could and couldnt do. if it were up to my dad, my brothers would have had the great life, while i just stayed locked in my room. he was, actually he still is, a very sexist pig. haha. now i am older and can speak my mind, so he doesnt say much about anything i do anymore. now that my mom is re-married, she is still the "boss". she is a pretty strong minded woman.

My mom was the boss, hands down. She did all the driving, she earned most of the money, and my dad was more of a stay at home dad. He would never tell me no when it came to discipline, either. The clsest he would come to saying no was, "Ask your mother". That esentially meant no, he just couldn't bring himself to say it!
We also had a sort of us against mom team. If something happened in the house, such as my dad setting the garbage can on fire again (he was mostly blind), we would always say we wouldn't tell mom. Or we all knew he was expected do the housework as he was the one home, but we would goof off all day, going swimming or whatever, and then everyone would pitch in vacuming and so forth right before mom got home and then we would keep it to ourselves. Yes, we all knew who the boss was!

my dad is definitely the boss in my house. If we upset our mom, she runs to my dad and my dad deals with it. And if we upset out dad... wow.. :(

Who is boss at my home, I have no doubt of course my father is a boss in my house. My mother is a housewife and we all financilly depend on him so he is the boss. I am not saying it in a nagetive way, its nice to have a father figure like him. He usually takes good decision for us.
