Help me grow a spine

I am mainly a SAHM. I signed on to a fitness company to help out with the occasional weekend someone needs filling in, and any other time I'm able to sub. I also agreed to take on a few classes of my own, but warned that my desire to work outside the home was minimal, particularly since the class I actually want to teach I've been told is not being offered right now. The one class I'm really excited to take on is taking place during the week in the evening. A lot of other things I specified when I signed on have not been followed, but I have this weird sense of duty and always try to help out where I can, so I have filled in even though it was pretty inconvenient for me at times, and that has been fine, but certainly not ideal.
I am being asked to teach for 3 hours on Saturday morning for several weeks at a time. I just don't want to do it. I have other things I'd like to be doing during that time, other commitments, consider it one of the only days that I get to spend with my daughter and husband at the same time, and feel that I would regret and resent it. Saturdays are my one chill day: husband is home, no church, etc. I told my boss that I'm looking into it, and I honestly was trying to get excited about it, but I just don't feel like it would be right for me. However, I feel guilty because of that sense of duty I mentioned, and also I know someone new may be hard to find given the niche into which the class falls. How do I say no and still remain in good favor? |
