My friends tease me by saying that my Mom is the boss of my Daddy. I am beginning to think thye are right. I hate having a Mother who tells my Daddy what to do when it's supposed to be the other way around.

well that depends... does your mom and dad have a good relationship so far? because sometimes, mothers make the decisions in the family -- not because the daddys are wimps, i think they just respect their wives enough to let them take control once in a while... especially if the mother is not working, expect to see a lot of decision making. if the mother is a housewife and the father works long hours -- more likely, the father would give power to the mother to make decisions around the house. also sometimes, not being able to work and earn money hurts the person's self-esteem. imagine if your father worked and made the decisions in the house, while your mother stayed and just followed orders -- don't you think she would feel bad? im guessing that your father gave your mother the authority so that she wouldn't feel left out.
as long as they have a good relationship -- i think everything's going to be fine. it doesn't really matter who's in charge in the house -- as long as your parents can provide a shelter for you, feed you and send you to a good school -- that's all that matters.

Actually, it isn't supposed to be the other way around. Men have no more right to boss women around than women have to boss men around. A marriage is supposed to be a partnership. Looks can be deceiving. People may think that I (the mom) rule to roost. I don't, we each have equal say on what happens, but since I'm a stay at home mom, I tend to know a little more about the household needs than my husband, so I may tell him what needs to be done around here.
I'm not mean about it. I'm just letting him know what's going on. Maybe that's the same for your parents. My husband will ask me if he can get something or spend a certain amount of money, but I do the same. That way we each know what the other does and how much money is going out for whatever. It's not a matter of asking permission. It's just courtesy.

I am sorry to tell you this, but daddy and mommy are to work together not independant of each other. Neither one should boss the other one around.
Your dad is as much to blame as your mom. They both are wrong. If your dad wanted to be boss he would be and if your mom wanted him to be boss he would be.
Don't look at your mom as the bad guy when your dad allows it.

Who says its supposed to be the other way around?? You have no idea what your parents discuss when they are alone. My guess is she is the primary caregiver at home, so she makes most of the decisions. She runs the household. Maybe he prefers taking a backseat.
Your friends dont know anything real about your parents, and maybe you dont either.

I don't think either should be the boss. Should be an equal partnership.
