This line really speaks to the frustration many new managers face, especially when boundaries between professional and personal responsibility overlap.

It also speaks to how much you can be forced to grow as a leader when navigating these challenging situations.

Your decision to address the problem directly was a pivotal moment of leadership, setting a clear boundary for yourself and the team.

It's a great reminder that sometimes doing the difficult thing is the only way to move forward, both for the sake of the team and your own peace of mind.
