My thinking is that, if they don't want to do _________: then who am I to change their mind? I'm not going to MAKE someone do something they don't want to do on their own.
Yeah, this is me too...I mean I've tried to tell him what I want, but I don't force it for this same reason. Meanwhile, he is the opposite, he thinks it's his responsibility to make people do things. I think this is exacerbated in our family by them owning their own business.
I reject the idea of controlling other people so thoroughly, it's anathema to me, because I so desperately don't want to be controlled, that I go too far the other direction. Not goooood.
I'm of Scottish descent, and I read a book about Scottish history and I thought...that's me. I don't want to control or conquer anyone, but by God, no one's going to conquer me...not even the Roman Empire!!! LOL.
