I'm a little bit of a back seat driver after that though.

I really wish I could let go of more, but I just don't have the emotional/mental bandwidth right now to do it. @ChopSuey119: It is super hard to ask for help! Even when I get it, I find myself re-doing things, like re-washing bottles/nipples.

I spend my whole life training kids to do things for me. I'm totally serious. In middle school, there's always a few kids who want to come in the morning before school or come after school to hang out, so I train them to do everrrrything--reshelve the books, write my daily objective on the board, help me weed the collection. Then I sit at my desk and check Hellobee. ;-) Smurfette on "If you want something done right, do you have to do it yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-want-something-done-right-do-you-have-to-do-it-yourself#post-543317 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:46:44 +0000 Smurfette 543317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yes although trying to work on it and let DH do more stuff. blackbird on "If you want something done right, do you have to do it yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-want-something-done-right-do-you-have-to-do-it-yourself#post-543299 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:41:59 +0000 blackbird 543299@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Sometimes. But my give-a-crap meter is running low lately, and you know what? It's a lot less stressful to outsource :) heffalump on "If you want something done right, do you have to do it yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-want-something-done-right-do-you-have-to-do-it-yourself#post-543257 Fri, 01 Feb 2013 08:25:53 +0000 heffalump 543257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Very true. Easier to do it yourself the first time then explain to someone else, and show them how to do it.

I say this all the time.

That's why I'll die at 40. I have juuuuuust started to let DH do things without my hovering and he does OK but never how I would do it or exactly to my liking. I have learned to not say anything though: which is new for me. pui on "If you want something done right, do you have to do it yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-want-something-done-right-do-you-have-to-do-it-yourself#post-542039 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:10:57 +0000 pui 542039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Most of the time I feel this way, depending on what it is. Sometimes though you have to let go and accept help. kiddosc on "If you want something done right, do you have to do it yourself?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-want-something-done-right-do-you-have-to-do-it-yourself#post-541986 Thu, 31 Jan 2013 21:06:58 +0000 kiddosc 541986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Nope... DH is the stickler for detail, I'm more Meh, that'll work.

I think it's the reason I have a hard time asking for help.
