Who is in charge or seen as boss in your house?

Someone will say "fancy going the pub" we will decide amongst ourselves whether we feel like going the pub. Like go where? We don't really have the money to be going to crazy golf or whatever else people do as a family and options are limited anyway as my mum is disabled.

And no money is not tight because of taxis, like seriously how is a £3 taxi maybe once every 2 months if even that (as I already said we rarely go out as a family but you ignored) going to cause money to be tight?

£3 the taxi fares are cheap where you live where I live that's pretty much the starting price.You can get a disabled person onto a bus so you can go most places.

You know mothers can be in charge you know?
When my sister, my brothers and I were children my mother was in charge. But now we are adults the power play is no longer necessary.

probably because he's stricter.

Do not tell me what we can do as a family.
Pretty much no buses in my area can take on a mobility scooter, a wheelchair yes but not a mobility scooter which is considerably large and needs a ramp in order to board buses.

And also most family activities a bus would take you to cost a significant amount of money (on our budget anyway). Such as the cinema + transport for 3 people you're looking at around £40 that is like half our weekly budget.

Yes there are a few places which are free such as museum or art gallery but transportation problems are a factor.

You could use a wheelchair as opposed to a mobility scooter.In my area you could go to the cinema for £22(on the cheapest day) including bus fares, if already had a regular bus pass(which you could do for a week to save money) then it would only be £10.50.

It seems as if your family doesn't have a definite leader due to the fact that you don't do much as a family inside or outside the house and you seem incredibly able to compromise on decisions which I find strange-your family is very unusual.

Buses are a ****ing rip off!

£2.50 for a 10min journey!

I seem to be the only one that pays, every old sod seems to have a pass.

Really?

Yes.

If that helps you sleep better at night then sure

They damn well are >.<

To be quite honest the cinema is a rip off and I never choose to go there to spend money anymore. What happened to the days where tickets were like 2-3 pounds. Now they can be up to 8 for 1 person and that is stupid.

As for someone being in charge, maybe you are so adamant that Sophie needs to have someone in charge in her family because you have a rather large family or maybe a dysfunctional family who needs more rules and decisions. You have got to realise that not every family is the same and that not all families need people in charge especially if they lead separate lives.

Furthermore, being in charge of small situations such as organizing a meal and what not could vary and is not the same as being in charge of the majority of situations. For example, one week I could organise a restaurant or activity and if everyone in my family can make it (my dad, mum and younger brother) then we would probably go as long as there were no problems with money. Then guess what? My mum could organise an activity and as long as the rest of my family are free and we have no money issues then we would most likely do that as well. There would be no real arguments (because my family appreciates when we do something different or something that is organised by someone else) and if there was a problem e.g. my dad chose to go to an Indian restaurant in which I don't particularly like then the next time I would be able to choose.

In my area cinema is £3.50 on the cheapest day.

Whoever holds the power over whether or not what someone wants will happen is boss, my mam may suggest something and I may agree and we will do that but if I don't then we won't do that.What if two people propose different ideas at the same time?
