Have they changed the way we think? After reading all posts I think they have. People, why do you write what you hear somewhere, not your own thoughts?

I used to be a big micro manager. I'm not at complete delegation and not sure I ever will be/want to be but the middle sounds better than either side to me! Hugs, Holly Here via the Carnival of Family Life. ;) What a fun way to share this common and daily event. I used to be a big micro manager.

In my case, for micro-manager you can read control freak and critic. That's 14 months of parenthood for you. It's broken me. These days, if anyone offers to help, I'm just grateful. In the beginning it had to be me, me, me. No-one else could do it right. Am now a reluctant delegator but still battle micro manager instincts.

But, also we at http://www.blogfabulous.com (one and the same really) are wondering the last few days why this attitude of helping seemed to disappear after the child turned 5? I love being a delegator, but I'm getting a little pissed off that I am talking about my daughter cleaning the living room up for two solid hours and it still isn't done. Any advice on how you ask ONCE and it gets done? Tracee Sioux http://www.traceesioux.blogspot.com http://www.blogfabulous.com Hey Little Mummy,
