[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mother would do things for family, but would explode with resentment and start lifelong feuds. I learned from that you should say "no" to things you consider too much rather than just saying "yes"to look nice. She did not volunteer or do any of the other things, but it was not her thing. I volunteer at the school because I genuinely enjoy it. I do not organize food chains because you never know someone else's circumstances ans whether you are guilting someone into doing something they resent. Plus, I know with my own family's food allergies, if people don't ask questions meals can end up thrown out. Instead I simply offer to get from their favorite restaurant and I don't rope others in. I don't host showers because I don't really enjoy them. I do host get-togethers during non-covid times. I think it's about doing what you enjoy and giving in a way that works for you not trying to meet some societal expectation.[/quote] Very sensible![/quote]
