[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like she is impulsive and wants to help, but then when she gets into it, she realizes that she didn't fully understand what she was getting into and was in over her head. She probably has ADHD (impulsive, bad follow through, anxiety when overwhelmed with planning and details). Now you know. Next time she quickly makes an offer, tell her you will think about it. See if she brings it up again (she won't). If she offers again, highlight what the task will entail, and tell her you can both think about it. See if she offers again (she won't). Either way, make sure you are both on the same page next time before you agree about something. Have all the details laid out. One person's simple bridal shower is another person's over the top extravaganza, you know? Details up front before agreement.[/quote]
