I just don't know how you can decide , exactly who makes the decisions, in a family you don't even know @Trinity11

If it is the thread I am thinking of, I stopped trying to figure out strangers on the internet years ago. Of course I agree with you that she is not to blame solely for anything but people are complex ... Who knows why they come up with their judgments.

@Trinity11 thank you, I just didn't want to feel, I am over sensative, because of my family makeup...I realize everyone doesn't like everyone else. Many, at least, try to be objective

I was reared somewhat firmly and DH was permissive. Rearing two boys with that kind of backup wasn't easy at times.

Even when I was married I made most of the decisions. He paid the bills. I found out later he was terrible with the money he earned. In terms of the children, it was me 99%.

I am proud to say that they have grown up to be loving, responsible, well educated and successful adults. The one who is married: his wife defers most of the decision making to him.

Looking back over many years ago, DH and I made many mutual decisions. However, DH always worked long hours. I was determined to be a strong yet fair mother. I think I was more strict than some, but loving, if that makes sense. I handled the day-to-day running of the household and handled issues as they arose. Never once said, “Wait til your father comes home,”

My children have grown up to be good people. We are proud of them.

I choose my cars, my husband chooses his. He likes pleasing me and I like pleasing him. We get on because we are compatible, like the same things, the same people.

I watch House Hunters, so often couples want totally different styles when choosing their house. If they are that far apart concerning a house, I have to think they have made an unfortunate choice of mates.
