Classic 1950s parent roles

I love in a nuclear family with both parents and my siblings. I would say there is an egalitarian rule between the parents when it comes to who is boss in the family. My parents are however the picture of the classic stereotype spouses. My dad is the sole provider and my mom is a stay at home mother. So in some ways it is a patriarchy because my dad does handle all the finances. But in other ways it's a matriarchy because my mom is more the discipline parent while my dad is the fun one.
