We have a rule in my home that has stood us in good stead for over twenty five years now:
You can ask my help, or tell me what to do: you don’t get to do both....
Mine is “ask me”. I’ll jump right on it and with excellence.
I do not like beimg told what to do....at all.
That said, i get told what to do all.the.time
When I have a project bigger than I can do on my own, I “bounce the idea” off of my husband to get his opinion on how best to do the job. Then a few days later I'll get all the tools and parts out and start fiddling with it. He has NEVER been able to not join in or take over! But he is very skilled in all kinds of carpentry and home repair and it must be torture to stand by and watch me fumble around with his tools! Haha!
Absolutely!
