Title: Are you the main decision-maker in your household?
Post by: mrbizzard on September 22, 2014, 06:19:07 am
Do you make all or most of the decisions in your household?

Do you make all or most of the decisions in your household?

In my house there is no MAIN decision maker, we both are just as important and work together. Maybe that's part of the reason we lasted 43 years and still counting.

I agree oldbuddy there is no MAIN decision maker, we both make the decision together and maybe that's part of the reason also we have lasted 38 years and still counting.

Have to agree with the two previous posts.  In my household we both make decisions, there is no "one" boss or decision maker.

Yes, I'm the main decision maker in my household. It can feel like a lot of responsibility sometimes, but I also have a lot of freedom of choice. And I always know that things will get done. I wouldn't trade the responsibility for anything else.

I live alone so I am the only decision maker even though sometimes my caregiver puts her two cents in

In our household, we both make decisions, and there is no one person deciding everything.

My husband and I make decisions together. Even where I handle our budget or pay the bills, my husband is always involved and has input. I never make decisions without talking with him first.

There is only one decision maker and that's me...at least that's what my wife let's me think!  Nah, just kidding.  We rarely make a decision without discussing it first and always together on anything really important.

We share responsibility.  Whenever it time to make a decision we discust with each other.

I'm the breadwinner of the family, but I have a family member who likes to rule things her way, so I let her do her own thing as she's scary. On certain categories, including how we invest our money I do make the primary decisions, however.

When it comes to certain things, I would say I am the main decision maker.  Things like purchasing groceries and other household items, meal making, cleaning, etc.  When it comes to bigger things, we share decision making.

As a single mom I am the main decision maker in our household. On some things I do get input from my son especially if it pertains to him. I like to give him a sense of taking some responsibility for choices he makes.

I guess I am the main decision maker in my house hold I am the only one who lives there.  My girlfriend lives somewhere else but she has been helping me with my bills and animal feed because I am still out of a job and I never know when some one will want me to do something for them and get paid.  I have been cutting wood for winter hoping I will get a buyer pretty soon.  My girlfriend isn't going to want to keep up to households so I better get off my but and start making money.  I am not old enough to retire I do have some medical problems but I don't think that it will qualify me for disability.  I guess it would hurt to try.

Well it depends on what it is.  My husband has the money but I pay all the bills because he doesn't understand how to do it.  I guess we decide on things together.  I make the decision on what groceries will be bought the same with animal feed.  But after paying the bills we don't have any money left over to do anything else, so we really don't have major decisions to make.  Now I wouldn't buy a car without him looking at it because even though he can't read or write he knows about cars and I can trust that he will know if it is a good deal or not.

I think it depends on the decision that needs to be made. If I am more of an expert then I make the decision, if my spouse has the experience then they make the decision. And when it comes to technology sometimes the kids have the expertise and we let them make the decision  :)

i think that we share the decision at least on the major things.  because im a stay at home mom i have more decision making on the food purchased and the meals made but we are current talking about trying for our second child so this is a joint decision or when we moved or bought a new car.

My husband and I discuss everything together and don't make any decisions until we can both agree on what ever we are discussing. We've always been equal partners.

In my house there is no MAIN decision maker, we both are just as important and work together. Maybe that's part of the reason we lasted 43 years and still counting.

Same here we both decide what to do, and discuss the pros and cons.  We have been together for 26 years and counting
