I'm another one who bristles at being held accountable by anyone other than myself. I'm beginning to see it as as caring thing - people can hold each other accountable because they care about each other. Growing up though, I was held accountable for the benefit of others, not for myself, so my knee-jerk reaction tends to be 'what's in it for you? F- off.'
