Who is really the Boss?

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with WHISPERING PINES REALTY 20398180

As goes, most couples will argue who is the boss.  It is usually settled somewhere in the middle...YES DEAR!  Well this might help to clear the air....

An older farmer was retiring and in the process of selling his land.  But, he had to get rid of all the animals first.  So he went to his neighbors homes and where the man was in charge he gave a horse.  Where the woman was in charge...he gave a chicken.

Toward the end of the block he saw a couple out  working in the garden.  "Are you the boss of the home?"  He asked the man

"Why, yes I am", he said matter afactly.

'I have two horses left, a black one and a brown one.  You may have one." replied the farmer.

"Well, then I will take the black one" the man of the house said.

"Oh, NO," his wife chimed in..."Take the brown one!" 

The farmer replied..."Here's your chicken!"

Have a good evening...I am going downstairs with my blanket to find the couch!!!

I accepted mt boss a long time ago, and now I don't even have to think about it.  It helps to develop great patience.

I've learned that whether or not HE admits it to himself, or even whether SHE shows it in front of others, the Mrs. definitely has veto power.  However it's always important to recognize those husbands with "ego issues" and make sure to direct questions appropriately.  It can be a delicate balance.  The only definite is to NOT assume and remark about who is in control unless they joke about it first.  People are funny.
