To be honest, yes. I run the household and every decision goes through me. If I want to buy something substantial I will do the research and find what I want. Then, I’ll tell my husband about it and ask if that’s ok. He can say no but he knows I usually am right so he goes along with it. He has too much going on so he has no problem with me running things.
It might not work for everyone, but it works for us and makes life run smoothly..for the most part lol
But don't you think that is different than simply having major purchases appear in the house?. My Mom did that. She was the money manager, ran the home, and never consulted my Dad about any purchase for the home. He woudl cone home and boom! A new living room set, or dinign set was in place, and the old one in the basement. Now he did not want to know about the fridge or stove but she never even ran a thing by him, with the exception of a vehicle purchase when he was driving the vehicle, and I bet she would have handled that too, given the option. I thought it was a bit controlling, to be honest.
