Parental Weakness

Parental Weakness

Who is responsible for what decisions around the home?

A USA Today survey asked 4,500 men and women. The answers:

Women are responsible for:

  • Deciding what's for dinner and then preparing it
  • Managing the household budget
  • Raising the children

Men and women share the responsibilities for deciding:

  • Where to go on vacation
  • How much to spend on major purchases
  • How much insurance to carry and where to buy it

Men are responsible for:

  • Deciding what to watch on television

That's it? That's it. Virtually all other decisions are made jointly or made by the woman. Really.
