[quote=Anonymous]We still have a matriarch. It’s my mother, and before that, it was her mother (my mom has three other sisters, and she sort of bosses them around too). There are definitely power struggles about hosting now that my sister and I have families of our own, and it’s more convenient not to travel on Thanksgiving and Christmas. My mom worked FT, but recently retired. My grandma didn’t work outside the home. My sister and I both work FT outside the home. My dad isn’t really a patriarch: my mom definitely is (and always has been) in charge. And to answer PP, yes, we are from the south. It might be a southern thing.[/quote]
