    I'm trying to work out 'what make's one individual feel the need to and what's more that they have the right to control others?' .

    A family member, with a very high ranking professional position is absolute toxic company for this reason.

    i know what you mean.... I've five older siblings and one in particular is a nosy yoke......Not to the extreme you have mentioned but generally doling out unwanted advice and then having a nelly attack because you don't heed it


    I suggest telling them to Pee off and mind their own business.. Repeatedly until the message sinks in,,,

    Well, probably because they've spent the last few years being in charge of a company and are constantly bombarded with every little detail of what's happening and want to know as well. They then proceed to get so stuck into their work that they bring the managers mentality home with them and need to know every little detail that's going on in the house because they firmly believe that they know what's best and that nobody should argue.

    Sounds like a right aul bollocks to work for. How old are you? And who is he/she? A bit more information and people will probably be able to give some more accurate advice :)

    with out knowing more details i can only assume that a) the person is older and feels that control is their right and B) that as the person is a high ranking proffesional they are used to knowing everything that goes on (with in their work) and that they expect people to do what they say (again in work) and that as a resulty of these 2 facts the controling person carries this in to their private life.

    a swift mind your own business should do it! Repeat as nessesary!

    Thanks

    He is a high ranking member of the defence forces. I'm tempted to blame that, but seriously this controlling nature means that peace is virtualy impossible.

    People who do this generally aren't fully aware of their actions.

    But still, it's a family member. If they're old and successful then there's no point in trying to change them. Just accept them as they are and try and manage their behaviour and your reaction to it as best as possible.
