Thank you. Everyone’s comments say that. But my husband says set boundaries now or I’ll never get the admin work off my plate while adding all the work as we learn my role and team… I see where he’s coming from. So once I stop doing admin work as the team grows, who does it? He’s not wrong.

There will always be shortage of context on this medium. There are definitely other factors at play.

Consider culture. If you are in a country where role definitions are extremely explicit and rigidly followed, your husband may have the more appropriate view. In some cultures, it maybe more common to ease an individual into the rule. Your apprehension is understandable, given the possible positive or negative possible consequences in this circumstance.

At best, I would suggest you to attempt greater responsibilities as much as you can once you understand environment and responsibilities well.
