Hello my steemit friends i hope you are doing well and enjoying life. I love taking part in contests that make us think deeply about life and family. Today i am happy to share my thoughts on an interesting topic “Who Should Make Big Decisions Mom or Dad?” This topic is very close to every family because every home faces this question at some point. I will share my opinion in easy words based on love respect and understanding between parents.

Who do you think should always make the big decisions in the family Dad or Mom?

In my opinin both Mom and Dad should makes big decisions togethers. A family is likes a tree Mom and Dad are its two strong roots. If one root is weak or ignored the tree cannot stand firmly. In the same way big decisions in life should not depend only on one person. Both parents have different experiences emotions and ways of thinking. When they share ideas the decision becomes stronger and wiser. Mothers are known for their emotional intelligence. They understand family feelings children’s needs and home matters very deeply. Fathers on the other hand often think practically and look at the long term results of decisions. When these two ways of thinking meet the result is perfect balance. So i believe that big decisions should not belong only to the mom or dad they should belong to both.

What is your reason for choosing either?

My reason for choosing both parents together is very simple unity brings peace. In many families arguments start when only one person tries to control all major decisions. For example if a dad takes a big financial decision without discussing it with the mom she may feel ignored. Similarly if a mom makes an important family or education decision without the dad he might feel disrespected. Every person has different strengths. A mother understands emotional and social matters better like the children’s education family relationships or home management. A father is usually better at planning finances careers or long-term goals. When they combine these strengths they become a perfect team. Big decisions like buying a house choosing a school or planning savings should be made by both because both are building the same family future.

Do you think big decisions should be left for only one person to make?

No i don’t think big decisions should be left for only one person to make. If one person is always makings big decisions it creates an imbalanced in the family. The other partner might feels their opinion does not matters and this can lead to misunderstandings and emotional distanced. Marriages and parenthood are partnerships. In every partnership equal particpation builds trust. Even if one parent is more experienced in some area it is stils importants to discuss and listen to the other’s point of view. Listening to each other shows love and respect. Sometimes one may notice a detail the other misses and this teamwork helps avoid mistakes. Also when children see their parents making decisions together they learn the value of cooperation and respect. It gives them a lesson that family is not about control it is about teamwork and understanding.

What is your advice to families going through this phase on deciding who should make big decisions?

My adviced to families is to communicates openly and respectfully. Every big decision should start with discussion and end with agreement. There is no “boss” in a healthy family. Both Mom and Dad are leaders in their own ways. They should sit together share their opinions and choose what is best for the whole family not just for one person. Another important thing is to trust each other. If one parent has more knowledge about a specific topic like money education or health the other should support and respect that experience. But final decisions should still be made after mutual discussion. Families should also remember that love is more important than being “right.” Even if you disagree handle it with calm words and respect. Big decisions made with anger or pride never bring good results. But decisions made with love and understanding bring happiness and unity. Finally always include your children in small ways. Teach them to listen share opinions and value both parents equally. This builds stronger family bonds and prepares them to make wise decisions in their future.
