Had someone tell me that wanting to be the head of my household was outdated thinking. But to me leadership means responsibility, making sure my family is secure, taking care of my wife, teaching my kids right from wrong. It's not about being a tyrant it's about being reliable and strong. Feel like that message gets lost these days. Who else still believes in this?
You nailed it. Being a leader in your house means showing up, making the tough calls, and taking care of your family. That's not outdated, that's just being a dad. Those people don't get it.
Leadership is about responsibility, exactly right. You're not ruling anything, you're just making sure everything runs and everyone's taken care of. That's the whole job.
I think there's a huge difference between being controlling and being the leader. Someone's gotta make the final call on things. Sounds like you've got the right idea about what that actually means.
Leadership isn't about being a dictator, it's about setting direction and making sure things run smoothly. That person probably misunderstands what you're saying. Being the head of household just means you're responsible for the big picture.

People throw around that outdated line too easily these days. There's nothing wrong with taking responsibility for your family's wellbeing and direction. That's just good parenting.
