I think that a common mistake is that people take things on and feel they have to do EVERYTHING. Delegating is a skill, and also being comfortable enough to take people up on their offers. If I'm ever hosting something at my house and someone offers to bring something, I never say no. I always say how great it would be them promptly tell them what would be most useful. LOL!

It's so true that sometimes people make things a lot harder than they need to be. But while it may seem "easy" to you, please don't undermine your role! Like the other parents who thanked you, I do think you deserve kudos for taking the leadership role -- someone needs to do it and not everyone is cut out for it. It's an art and a skill. (Just like delegating!) I love this! It’s so true that sometimes people make things a lot harder than they need to be.
