"Contest: Who Should Make Big Decisions – Mom Or Dad?"

I came across this contest when I went through disconnect's contest alert. As a debater, I could not avoid this contest. Therefore, I decided to participate in this contest.

Any family has to face this problem. Because everyone in their life journey has to face so many issues, such as which school they find for their kids, which type of house they should buy for their family or who should manage the finances, etc. At that point, we had to decide who should make this big decision: mom or dad? Even though it sounds very simple, actually, that moment touches the heart of the family.

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

---

When considering this question, I think both Mom and Dad should share the responsibility of making big decisions. They both have different strengths; when they work together, the result will be more success. Fathers' decisions are most of the time very logical, as well as they focus on long-term results. But mothers are always making decisions from their hearts. They always think about how the result affects all of them emotionally. Therefore, with Mom and Dad making decisions together, the family gets the balanced benefits as mind and heart are working side by side.

What is your reason for choosing either?

---

In a family, if a father is the only decision-maker, then the mother of that family feels she is not important to that family. As well as the mother being the only decision-maker of that family, the father feels that he is not important to that family. This type of imbalance can slowly create tension in a family. Family strength depends on teamwork, not on one person becoming boss. That is why I am saying that both Mom and Dad should make decisions together.

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

No, according to my knowledge, I think both should discuss together first. The final decision should be taken by the person who has more experience in that subject. For example, considering children's education, the mother should make the final decision. Because she is the one who spends more time with their kids. Therefore, they know well about their kids well. But when it comes to financial planning or buying properties, the father has more experience. Therefore, at that point, final decisions should be made by the father. In that way, both parents can make the decision depending on the topic. Because a decision does not depend on power but on wisdom.

Communication is the most important key in a family. Therefore, it is essential to sit together and talk openly, respecting each other's ideas. It makes it easy to find a solution. There may be disagreement, but the decision should be best for the family. Such parents are role models for their kids.

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

---

My advice to families who are struggling with these issues is not to fight to decide who should lead. Instead, make decisions together. Every strong family is built on understanding and communication. When the decisions are taken together, even tough choices can turn simple. For that, respect your spouse, love them, and make a decision together to make any big issue a simple one. Then the family will be a lovely one, and your kids will imitate you.
