[quote=Anonymous]Agree that you should proactively say work picked up and then just start saying no. It may take a while but they will readjust. No need to feel bad. Some people are overwhelmed/poor planners/takers. It’s on them to make things work. You’ve been the easy out so have become their default solution. Time for them to find another default or otherwise plan to meet their kids needs like the rest of us. My son’s best friend has parents like this. After a decade of accommodating them, I’ve come to the conclusion that they are shitty selfish people. I feel badly for their son (now an older teen) who is always welcome at our house, but I’m done with his parents and should have been years ago.[/quote]
