I am Tawny owl in a local brownie troop. The Brown owl is "leader in charge" as she likes to keep reminding me. It just feels like she wants to do everything and I'm just another helper.
She "delegates" tasks to me and then spends her weekend emailing me checking up. I'm not allowed to tidy the cupboard because she needs to know what is in there. Last week she asked all the others if they could make today for planning meeting and then said to me "you cant make it can you" In other words deliberately picked a night I couldn't make. I organised a sleep over last summer but the stress and hassle I got from her means I cant face doing it again. If I make suggestions, she puts them down unless the others agree.
We even had to have mediation over this but I came away feeling she didn't think she was doing anything wrong.
It sounds petty I know but its really getting me down. Its meant to be fun and giving to the community but it feels like bullying.
My husband wants me to give up but while I'm at brownies I really enjoy being with the girls. Also my DD goes to same pack so she is upset I'm thinking of leaving. Just not sure what to do.
AIBU?
to expect other leader to show me respect?
