But fuck yes, mothers make the final decisions! Why? Because we have uteruses and breasts. Dad could take off within five minutes of conception if he wanted to and biology demands that we be there for the duration. Even the decision to bear a child or not ultimately lies with mom. As a social matter, we generally are more involved in child care tasks. Parents should do their best to resolve conflict about child-rearing matters, but ultimately the decision lies with Mom in most families.
