[quote=Anonymous]They are being manipulative. It's one thing to ask for a special dinner or a video call, but they are asking for a lot of time and showing ingratitude for what you already do. You can strill say "that won't work for us." It's the same as if someone requests you find their trip to Europe. You can decline. They are playing on guilt and manipulation and trying to appear generous for not expecting anything monetary. Boundaries are your friend. Make sure your kids understand why you are declining. Show no emotion. You don't need their approval. Treat it like they requested a million dollars. They are being jerks and trying to play you.[/quote]
