One day DH took off to work in a hurry. He had to change after work to go to a more casual event and so her grabbed a pair of jeans on his way out the door. Upon changing into the jeans he realised that they were actually mine

I think we are pretty equal here, all the big decisions are discussed and decided together...most of the little ones are as well. When Spencer was born I quite happily let DH take control of everything, was easier not to have to worry about anything except looking after Spencer but now things are back as they were before.]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 17:46:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12441&PID=254230&title=whos-the-boss-in-your-house#254230 <![CDATA[Who’s the boss in your house? : I&#039;m going to answer your...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12441&PID=254210&title=whos-the-boss-in-your-house#254210 Author: daikini

I'm curious about something - and feel free to tell me to buzz off if this is an inappropriate question, but are those of you in Christian marriages of the belief that the woman should be submissive to their husband in marriage?

I ask this as I know of a few couples who are, and who are, and I wondered if this was the way most Christian couples believed or just the ones I know.]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 16:12:47 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12441&PID=254161&title=whos-the-boss-in-your-house#254161 <![CDATA[Who’s the boss in your house? : I rule the roost but DH rules...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12441&PID=254028&title=whos-the-boss-in-your-house#254028 Author: CuriousG

I defer to Nat as the head/leader of our household when a final decision needs to be made, but we usually reach that point through discussion.]]> Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:45:12 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12441&PID=254011&title=whos-the-boss-in-your-house#254011 <![CDATA[Who’s the boss in your house? : Same Janine.

Oh, well, I am gonna buck the trend and say we are equally the boss because neither of us make decisions without the other, but in all i spose i tend to be a bit of the driving force for the decisions.   No, really, Paris is the bossiest - doesn't make her the boss though.

I like the comment about the pants. I used to say that "mike wears the pants in our house, but they're my pants"

when we first got together he needed new jeans and i was gonna chuck a whole heap of ones i'd grown out of (which mum bought from boys dept anyway cos they fit me better).. so he tried em and they fit perfectly, lol so he wears my pants figuratively and literally..

so yes, equal. I asked paris and she goes "you're both the boss"

Daddy.
Its weird and unfair because I'm the one who has to make and enforce most of the rules!]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:56:21 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12441&PID=250709&title=whos-the-boss-in-your-house#250709 <![CDATA[Who’s the boss in your house? : Maya: Can I have some rockmelon?

Maya: Can I have some rockmelon?

Me: When you've finished your dinner.

Maya: I don't like my dinner.

Me: Then no rockmelon.

Maya: Ooooh, but I want rockmelon!

Me: Then eat your dinner.

Maya: So! You're not the boss of this house anyway!

Me: Oh yeah? Who's the boss then?

Maya: Daddy's the boss!

Yeah right! He *wishes* he was the boss, I wear the pants in this house!!

Who's the 'boss' in your house? Or more importantly, who do your KIDS think is the boss?]]> Thu, 22 Nov 2007 15:28:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12441&PID=250681&title=whos-the-boss-in-your-house#250681
