I don’t particularly like being in charge. I love having other people I can turn and point to, either when something is great or when a major disaster happens. I love having Husband – for so many reasons, but also so I can say, “Ask Dad. Tell Dad. Go cry to Dad.” I am not bossy, because I don’t crave the backlash.
But.
I am always right.
See where the problem comes in?
Even when I’m not in charge, I know exactly how everything should be run, and done, and carried out.
It’s a curse.

Oh my gosh, we sound like the same person. I would rather be a counselor than the president in an organization. I want to be told, not tell others what to do, but I do always know the best way to do it. How do we overcome that?

I'm indecisive, but I always know the right decision. Sometimes the right just just needs to be told to me. 🙂 But I will know it (when I hear it).

You sound like me! I can definitely be that way. I expect people to do what I say, as I say, but if it goes wrong, I wonder why they didn't do something different.
I just found out about your upcoming book, "My Ridiculous, Romantic Obsessions" from a friend. It sounds fabulous!

I suffer from the same affliction. It's horribly frustrating because if I act on my instinctual rightness then I'll be setting a precedent of In-Charge-Ness that I shudder at the thought of…
