One Minute Writer – Control Freak

May 19, 2010 By: Mamma Kerr Category: Creative Mamma, Mamma's Memes, Opinionated Mamma, Organised Mamma, Working Mamma


The One-Minute Writer: Today's Writing Prompt: Control freak

I am a control freak. Period.  I have difficulty in delegating work tasks to others, as I always fear that they will not do it as well as I would do myself.  I fear that I will end up having to re-do it myself!  This, of course, is ridiculous, as the tasks are never that difficult.  I just find it hard to hand over the reins and feel that I will lose control over the whole situation if I do not keep a close involvement in everything!

My daughters are off school today, as it is an inset (AKA in-service) day, when the schools are closed to pupils to allow the teachers to participate in training workshops. These days are a major pain in the butt for working parents like me, as we have to either take the day off or arrange childcare cover.
