Both are responsible. Both are responsible for those in the house. They share in this; they share in raising the children; they share in commanding the household to pray and to maintain the prayer; they share in preventing wrongs from the house. All of them are responsible for this house. The woman is a shepherdess in her husband's house, and she is responsible for her flock.
