I am also a perfectionist... to the extreme that one of my professors in college sat me down and warned me that while it was okay to demand excellence, it was dangerous and self-destructive to be the over-achiever that I was.

I am learning to say no. I am learning to walk away. I am learning to let others do things... especially my kids. It is difficult to stand by and watch other people make mistakes. But I am trying to set healthier boundaries in my life.
