A timely post. I've been in the position of needing to ask for help this week. And will need to ask a couple more people for help today. So you've encouraged me to ask, instead of waiting another day and seeing if I can manage.
I've also had to let go of a family responsibility I was going to take on, and ask someone else to do it instead. And actually, she is in a better position to do it and will do an excellent job. So why did I say "I'll do it" in the first place, without thinking if anyone else would be better?
I'm glad you're encouraged to ask for help!
Yes, sometimes we take things into our own hands when someone who is willing could have done it better!
Eldest sibling syndrome maybe?
