[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s with people who swoop in and take over a crisis, but it’s self-serving. I know someone who does this to the detriment of their actual family. They will swoop in and devote themselves completely to “helping”, essentially take over, and then complain martyr-style to anyone who will listen about how tired they are from helping.[/quote] Are you saying you’d rather them not help with their time, leadership, managing skills, and other resources? Or you want them to delegate more (ie they are controlling?) or take in more advice on options from others (ie they are bossy)? If they don’t help and do their thing, what happens instead? Maybe just tell them to back off and you’ll handle or it everyone else will and then you don’t have to get upset at this relative or outcome, since you’ll be more responsible for it. [/quote]
