Curse of the Little Red Hen

When in the belly of mayhem and project managing a hundred things at the same time, my mother likes to call herself “the Little Red Hen”. It’s the “fuck you, I’ll do it myself” trigger she sometimes pulls.

Now I sometimes do the same thing and I know people that do it too. Stubborness, pride and lots of other deep feelings are wrapped up in the Little Red Hen attitude.

How can we a) learn when to ask for help and b) know when to offer it? Are you a Little Red Hen?

    My mam used to go “Ahh well I guess bloddy Superwoman will do it!!!” and then punch the air in a Superman flight pose and sing the theme tune.
