I'm seen as the screw-up in my family. My husband often comments about being a single man with two children. (Charming, isn't it?)
But I felt reasonably competent this vacation. I really used the sense of direction I inherited from my mother. And I realized that my husband makes poor decisions at least as often as I would.
So maybe I'll stop deferring to him so much and not continue to accept my role as family screw-up.
I don't even know how I managed to get there. I was the good responsible daughter in my family of origin. The one that everyone, including my parents, turned to.
How did a mere thirteen years of marriage destroy my confidence??
