[quote=Anonymous]The way I handle this type of request is I try to give them another idea to solve the problem. “Sorry, I can’t, but at our daycare they’ll let you stay late if you pay $20. Call yours and ask if they can do late pickup.” By offering an idea it kind of takes the awkwardness out of the “no” part. Try it! If anyone is pushy past the initial “no” then they are being rude and you can be firmer. But if you’re not comfortable you can say, “sorry, it sounds like you’re in a pinch. But I really can’t.” You just don’t owe information beyond that.[/quote]
