EagleWoman: Leave my pigtails alone you!!! This reminds me of a sweet story of when I was about 6 or 7 at school!!! This boy (who was in my class) kept pulling on my pigtails and running away!! It really hurt and I used to get mad at him!!! Anyway wind forward some 30 something years and my parents who still live in the same village were at a village function and happened to be sitting next to a man who they vaguely knew. Started talking and introduced one another to find out HE was the boy who used to pull my pigtails. He told my parents he remembers me and that he had a soft spot for me but didn't know how deal with it so he pulled my pigtails to attract my attention and tease me!!!
Bental: This thread has really started some serious discussion for a change. Brava!
I too have experienced this problem.
I was used to shoulder a tremendous ammount of stuff as my late wife was somehow limited in certain aspects due to her medical condition. To be perfectly honest, she was the captain and she still managed to do a lot, (like keeping me sane).
After she passed away and I started to fequent others, I was told by the first two, that they were capabile of taking care of themselves and not to be protective.
Now I am learning to share that that needs doing and to accept being helped in turn.
And I'm loving it.
You restore my faith in ''man kind''
I always ''Muck in'' I Have helped strip and rebuild motorbikes decorating plumbing tiling , gardening and I mean 3,500 sq metres of it ..you name it i'll give it a go.. I am currently refurbishing an old house ....

... confusing isn't it. We are all now so capable of doing it all for ourselves but a bit too proud of it at times. Making space for someone else to feel involved and be part of it all is a key thing.
