Who has the more responsibility?

Our culture, the eldest takes responsibility but for grandchildren it's the grandma takes the greatest responsibility. Just like my wife who never sleeps if her grandkids needs aren't met.

It's hard to say. When I was a child, my dad has more responsiblities to the family. Now I grow up and have my own family. I seem to have more responsibilities as I am in charge of our property. Besides handling the income, I also need to arrange to pay for the charges. I think it depends on which one wants to take the duty or which one is smarter

Unfortunately, for the most part no one except the parents are responsible. Some children or other relatives might step up and assist like you are saying, but that does not happen often.

The father is traditionally expected to be the head of the household. These days, though, it appears that this is already hazy because there are families where the wife is the head of the household. As long as the people do it because they love their family, I think it depends on who can do it and not on the hierarchy.

I think DE has explained it well.

So far as I am aware we don't really have a "hierarchy."

Usually it is the adult children who have the most responsibility to the family. We spend money to upkeep the family, help with the family repairs, spend time with the elderly parents, and also bring them to the clinic if they are not feeling well.

Usually it's the father, but often now both man and woman in a couple have the same responsibilities.

I'm not sure what you're asking... In the US, the father usually has the most responsibility. If there isn't a father, then the mother does. Once kids leave home, then they're only responsible for themselves until they have a family.

in my hubby's side, it was the eldest daughter

usually the father is the head of the family but can share equally with the mother

In my family it was either the mom or oldest daughter in charge of my home.

My parents are the head of our family. They take all decisions. Nobody can disobey them..In Hindu culture the oldest member of the family is responsible.

Here in my region women have no say pertaining on the family issues. Our culture values the boy child not unless the girl child is financial stable for sure.

For the most part, if those are my choices, it would be the eldest daughter. Grandmothers are supposed to have lesser responsibility as they age. At least in the traditional American home. Of course, there are always exceptions. My family wouldn’t dare have put the responsibility on my paternal grandmother over my older sister.

I think that it depends on the family. But while the children are small, it is the parents who have the responsibility.

I do not think there is any hard and fast rule left now To each their own Depends on each house and how each one decides. With the system of nuclear family there is no grandmother aroudn to take on any resonsibility.
