Thanks for the reading.
I am so guilty of that but I am becoming aware of doing it. I was pleased with my progress the other day when I stopped myself for getting grouchy when a worker didn't do something that I thought that should have been done. I stopped and thought to myself you are the employer it is up to you to direct her.
I hate being a boss, (I have one part time employee) LOL. I feel uncomfortable with having the power over another person I gravitate between being overly generous and not setting boundaries to being sullenly angry that my unspoken wishes have gone unneeded.
I think I am making progress in this area, the key is self awareness when I am doing it methinks
