I was chatting with my sisters and talking about our family in general and we came to the conclusion that as a whole over several generations we are a matriarchal family.
Strong women who make most of the decisions married to nice , easy going men who recognise that they get an easier life by letting their wives rule the roost.
It has worked for us, we rarely have a serious falling out , and looking at the younger women in our family it's clear that on the whole they too will be leaders not followers.
I wondered if we're a rare bunch or if others recognise the strong women in their families?
Or have ' the inmates overtaken the asylum' and the men are in charge in your family
