He tries, but for the most part, I am the one who figures things out and gets it done. My husband is less knowledgeable about home repairs and such than I am, because of his upbringing. Sometimes servers at restaurants hand him the check, or when we're checking in at a hotel, sometimes the clerks will look over my head to talk to him. People automatically look at him when they're talking, even if I was the one who asked the question. I pay for everything and I do all of the talking when we are together, or when I need to take care of an issue over the phone. I definitely wear the pants in our relationship, and I'm very outgoing, whereas my husband is more introverted and would rather not "deal" with anything. still assume that my husband is the "boss" of the family. Salesmen, customer service employees, doctors, etc. My dad was the best.you can read some of my posts about him on my username. And I worked in areas not open to women back in the day. So, for me, I consider myself a feminist, but only in the real sense of the word which (in my mind) is basically being able to do things that all the "boys" can do.
I'm a married woman with two grown kids, and I'm still known as the "Tool Lady" in our household. My dad made me a strong human being, not just a strong woman. It wasn't until much later that I realized that a lot of my friends thought I was a lesbian because I could work on my car and fix plumbing issues in my apartment. I never worked in fast food, I worked for doctors starting as a file clerk and worked my way up to medical assistant.

Much later, when I got my first car (a 1965 Beetle), he made sure that I knew how to change the oil/spark plugs, deal with flats, and essentially take care of my investment. He would take me to the dump to search for what he called, "relics," and every Saturday we would go looking for neat stuff. I think that's when I realized that gender issues were a thing.my friends all had Dale Evans outfits (red and white as I recall). When I asked for a Roy Rogers outfit (complete with six-shooters), he got it for me. Since I was an only child, and mom was too depressed to be a parent, my dad stepped up to be my ONLY parent. Girls were supposed to be soft, cute, pink, and pretty. >!insert spoiler here!< Other subreddits you might like: some
