A young man and a young woman got married,they lived together.The daily life sometimes were exhausted.they met all kinds of choice:which kind of Tv they should buy?where to rent a house?where to buy a house?when to buy a car?where to travel on the holiday?how to bring up their children?even what to eat next dinner?
They are different, they can compromise to each other for a period of time,but finally they can't stand with other's opinion.
What's the best way to solve the problem?Maybe someone should be the leader in the family.
But who should be the leader in the family?Mom or Dad?
Dad,busy,abent of mind,their judgement on daily life are awsome,they don't good at managing daily life.
Mom,they spend so many time on cleaning the house,washing the clothing, dressing themselves,they don't have a vision of the future?
If you are the child of them,which one would you like to be the leader?Dad or Mom?

There should be no leader. It should be equal decissions. Sure enough if the child goes more to the mum than the dad then it just means they are more likely to say yes than no. In decissions on home appliances it should be equal as both the mum and dad have to use it same with the childs upbringing and where they live ect. Noone should be a leader in a family.

I agree with you to as sometimes the mother or farther do have better opinions. That is why you tell them you agree if you do agree. And if you don't agree tell them but in a nice way as to not start a heated discussion.

the term leader is not the right term for it, i believe.. hehe.. well, most societies are patriarchal and we adapted it for a very very long time now.. i believe its not bad at all.. so, i will still go with daddies having the highest authority in the family.. =)

I think Father is the who should be the leader of the family, it's their duty as a man to protect his wife & children. But for me the presence of a mother in a family also very important, she's the vice president of the family who in charge on the things that the father can't do because the father has to do things to live his family, so both of them are a team, they're both needed by all children :)

Why should there be a leader? There should be more so a team that equally leads together, no one should have the upper hand- at least not in my relationships. I have been the weaker one before, and I must say that was horrible, but now I am equal with my boyfriend, and things work great. I am confident and don't feel tied down by sharing leadership.

thanks for sharing your experience.Euqality is an idea situation,but sometimes there is a conflict between you and your BF,life still needs continue,maybe you think he should listen to me or I should take his suggestion.In my opinion, the person who makes the decission is the leader.
