women rule
women rule in the house hold women rule and the men dont seem to be complaining about it that much according to a study from the pew research center that examines how gender and pwer play out in the home and in the community. 1,260 individuals were surveyed this past summer, married or living together, and found women have more decision making power in the home. in 43% of couples surveyed women made more decisions which is almost twice as much as men. "across all decision making realms, it tilts to the woman,"says rich morin, lead author of the study. as for the house hold finances the study found that couples disagree on who has the greater say. about 45% of women said they manage the money while 37% of men said they manage the money. older couples are more likely to share in the decision making compared to younger couples. more than one-third of those sixty-five or older said they share in the decision making and couples under thirty 42% said they don't share on any decisions. out of the four areas that the pew considered in the survey only 8% of couples said they make decisions together. as for me i wouldn't mind not being the head of the house hold. less responsibility for me is what i'm about. i think i'm this way is because all my life i have been taken care of. i mean i do handle some things on my own but no real major responsibility. i'm twenty-five years old and i still live with my mom and i have no dreams of moving out any time soon. well until i came out here for school but when i'm done its back to mom's house.

Angel,
Good thoughts. Please use proper punctuation. I will let it go this time, but next time I will dock you points.
