However, I'm more outspoken and decisive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-703863 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:41:25 +0000 autumnlove 703863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are pretty even! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-703862 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 20:40:31 +0000 Weagle 703862@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We make tons of decisions together, but ultimately he's the leader of our family. Rarely does it come down to him needing to make a final decision, but when it does, he akes it with us in mind. I'm in charge of day to day stuff, and he has a bigger part in our finances because I hate dealing with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-703089 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:24:20 +0000 Dandelion 703089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're pretty even. We don't control each other and we're both responsible enough that we carry our weight around here. No nagging or hen pecking needed (or wanted!). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-703088 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:24:12 +0000 Sammyfab 703088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both have a leg in, but I often have the final say in decision-making. DH handles all of our finances though. </p> <p>I've said this before in a similar thread from awhile back, I wear the pants and DH wears capris! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-703078 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 15:20:29 +0000 stargal 703078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both def! I'm way to much of a feminist to have him wear the pants entirely alone. thankfully we both believe.it should he equalbwe both share the pants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702968 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:53:26 +0000 Mrs. Bee 702968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think we're pretty even! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702964 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:53:03 +0000 MrsBrewer 702964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@runsyellowlites: Same as our household to a T! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702963 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:53:00 +0000 prettylizy 702963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eh, most decision are joint, but he is the fiscal conscience in our house. Basically I'm the reason we go on vacations, he is the reason we can afford it! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702960 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:51:39 +0000 Sophia 702960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we share the pants :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702959 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:51:37 +0000 MamaMoose 702959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bao: This exactly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702949 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:50:16 +0000 MrsKoala 702949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll echo PPs and say that we each have a leg in. @Bookworm: Cute way to describe it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702945 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:49:45 +0000 mrsmenow 702945@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Amelieisme: I think this might be why my husband spends so much time in the bathroom, lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702936 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:48:16 +0000 Amelieisme 702936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsmenow: You sound like me! </p> <p> I'm definitely "in charge" of the day to day runnings of the house. I have very specific ways I want things done though. He is okay with taking the "follower" role though so it works for us. And he is in charge of finances a decent amount so I guess it evens out.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702917 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:43:46 +0000 Smurfette 702917@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are even </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702834 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:32:09 +0000 Bao 702834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty even....I handle some things, and he handles some things, but we make big decisions together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702827 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:31:30 +0000 heffalump 702827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do. Most things we make decisions on together, and there are some things that one of us is just better at so that person takes on that area. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702821 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:30:09 +0000 Mrs. Tea 702821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh goodness...me for sure. Sometimes I would like to not though and have a bit of a break! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702820 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:30:09 +0000 JoJoGirl 702820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both of us.. nobody has more 'control'.

I take care of the finances, but all decisions are made jointly and we do everything together. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702813 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:28:56 +0000 mrsmenow 702813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I run a tight ship, I wish DH would take on more of the responsibilty. If we want to go anywhere it is up to me soley to get us all ready and out of the house with the needed supplies. This is the same for dinner and bedtime on a daily basis. I really wish he were more of a partner in this aspect, but I know I would need to work on giving up some control too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702812 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:28:55 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 702812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like that term/idea..<br /> I'd say neither?<br /> My very reliable and responsible husband makes our final decisions but he does it with me in mind and we come to 99.9% of our decision after much compromise and reasoning. I trust him to always be the man of the house and do the right thing! but, he also looks to me as an equal counterpart.<br /> I definitely get my way a lot but only when he willingly allows it, and vice versa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702803 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:26:31 +0000 Bookish 702803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say we both have a leg in the pants :) I run the house and our finances, but all decisions are made jointly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702793 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:25:07 +0000 runsyellowlites 702793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely DH... I don't want them at all &amp; while there have been times it's tempting to pick them up &amp; put them on I pretty much refuse! lol</p> <p>ETA: I do handle the finances since I'm home, but by wearing the pants I meant that DH is the leader &amp; final say in all matters.... I may take the responsibility of getting some things done but he is the "one in charge" I guess you could say... when things aren't going well in our family the fault is ultimately on him &amp; his leadership. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-wears-the-pants#post-702742 Tue, 09 Apr 2013 14:15:53 +0000 DillonLion 702742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Who wears the pants in your relationship? </p>
