Back up and think about the signals you’re sending. People may feel like they have to compete to keep up with you, not vice-versa.
You’re not happy about pulling the plug on a loved one’s endeavors, but he’ll eventually see you’re right. Hopefully your nerves won’t be fried by then.
You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t, so you might as well do what you believe is best. Personal integrity is your saving grace.
You can pick apart what’s wrong, but can you demonstrate what’s right? People wonder if you know. If not, then change tactics before it’s too late.
You agreed to help out with the understanding that this person would learn to stand on his own. It looks like he’s gotten too comfortable. Withdraw support.
You need to work on your time management skills because you will soon be in great demand. Get ready to juggle priorities like never before.
