[quote=Anonymous]The way you handle this is by NOT GIVING REASONS WHY YOU"RE SAYING NO. You just keep repeating "Sorry, we can't host Jacob." "Unfortunately, that doesn't work for us." And you just keep saying those two over and over until she stops. Never give a reason why. If she asks, "Why?" The answer is that unfortunately that doesn't work for you. If you give reasons why, then she'll counter them. That's where people get stuck. When I'm close with someone, and I know they respect me and my boundaries, THEN I will tell them why I'm saying no. But if we're not close, or there's any history of them pushing, I give zero reasons, and zero f**ks. Works every time.[/quote]
