Who Wears the Pants in Your House?

  • ernest_t_bass
    Be honest too. Who wears the pants. Papa? Mama? Kids? Just because you say you want control doesn't mean you have it. Do you wear the pants?

    Personally, I'd say that I do, but the Mrs. and I butt heads a lot. She's the one who is home all day with the kids, so it's tough for her to "let go of the reins" when I come home.

    although i have been gaining more ground lately...i definitly do not wear the pants. realistically though i think its better that way because if left to my own devices all hell usually breaks loose in my life.

    the high maintenence gets old sometimes and her inability to let things go or her ability to make big deals about small things does cause me to have meltdowns about once a month or so.

    then a few days go by and we get back to breezy again.

    I see this is building up to be a nice failure :)

    We have a saying we live by in our home, "if Momma ain't happy, nobody's happy". I'm still the king of the castle...

    The pets do, and it isn't even close.

    definitely my wife

    I put them on, I wear them. When someone else puts them on they can wear them...until then no one is going to make me unhappy because they aren't happy.

    I do. But, I have no probs picking and choosing my battles.

    We're both too laid back for one of us to feel the need to "wear the pants" in the relationship.

    No...that's by request. After it gets comfortable enough, he'll be moving up to a size 9. Everyone needs a hobby, you know...

    it was a joke regarding his wife's small stature and him being incredibly whipped by her.
  • Heretic
    And mine was a joke about him liking to insert various objects up his butt. At least we're both on the same page that making jokes concerning Justin is a fun way to pass the time.

    Neither one. We both do our own thing. Unlike some posters *cough, cough* Coyotes *cough, cough* :D...I don't need to ask my wife 'permission' to do anything. As she doesn't need to ask me 'permission' to do anything. She stays in the kitchen..and I stay outside or on the recliner. We are both content and happy with that. :)
  • fan_from_texas
    Neither, really. We're both assertive/stubborn people, but we're horribly indecisive when it comes to day-to-day decisions. I think it's more "paralysis by analysis" than anything else--we spend a lot of time making decisions on things because we want to make sure we get it right.
