How would you feel if they step in and do something, wrong?

Some of these decisions/actions can have real consequences, as you well know.

What if they step in and do something, really wrong?

How would you deal with the situation if they did something you basically couldn't forgive them for?

It's totally unfair but they have gotten used to being blamed for not doing anything.

The last thing they want is to know that not only do you do more but you also do everything better.

If they really are as detached as you seem to think, they might be perfectly willing to forgive you if you make a bad call.

But could you do the same?  If you couldn't forgive them, then that's why you have ended up doing it all.

I'm not trying to say it's fair.  Just trying to explain that some people care too much about certain things to not be in charge.

Often, people who care that much can't imagine that others can feel differently.
