My mum walks over my dad - and the rest of the house - in terms of decision-making. Before I had been in a relationship, I didn't understand why my dad let my mum control him like she tries to, but I know just a little more about the situation he's in and I can see why that sort of relationship dynamic might unfold.
Mum makes most of the money, but dad did (and still does) a lot more for me in terms of giving up his time and building up a genuine friendship and being a good role model. He's what you could call a "house-husband". He's also doing a degree in creative writing, and he marks exam papers part-time.
I respect both of them where it's due, but neither of them I follow blindly.
