[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think my mother's generation was raised to always be making sacrifices and saying "yes" even when you desperately need to say "no." I find she does a lot of things she doesn't want to do out of obligation and feels resentful and angry. If she had said "no" more to take care of herself she would have been a better parent because she would not have been so stressed out all the time. She is a caregiver now and it has been pulling teeth to get her to accept5 even the tiniest bit of help. I see the benefits when she gets a break, but she is really rigid about how much time she will take for herself and the result when she doesn't get enough is her lashing out at everyone.[/quote] I think the other component of this is that they resent the generation of women below them saying no as well.[/quote]
