My parents are ESE-Si (mum) and LII-Ne (dad). My mum is the caretaker of the house - cooking, sewing, etc. - but every once in a while my dad decides to cook for everyone, or fix his own clothes, or buy us clothes (yeah, LII father trying to buy his teenage daughters jeans - NOT GOOD). My mum will take us quietly aside and tell us to be supportive, even if it's really bad, because otherwise my dad's feelings will get hurt.
I can't think of an Ne example at the moment.
