[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In their minds it's not taking advantage, because they don't think that the burden of refusal placed on you is making you suffer. Lots of people are like this, OP! My own husband among them. I've had to talk to him about it several times. He treats others like he would himself - he doesn't mind saying no, so he doesn't imagine saying no would be a problem for someone else. [/quote] It’s called Ask vs Guess culture. It’s a life changing thing to understand. https://therapyinanutshell.com/communication-skill/[/quote] I was just going to post this!! I read about this years ago and it really helped me understand myself versus my husband. That said, I’m an asker and I would never constantly ask someone to host my kids. These folks may not be doing it deliberately (I have no idea), but they lack social skills if they can’t see that this is ridiculous. In fact, I am often “asking” and inviting people to our house.[/quote]
