[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reason that you are angry is that some part of you is uncomfortable drawing the boundary. When I say no and I'm comfortable with it, I don't get frazzled when someone pushes back. I just repeat the no answer and move on.[/quote] NP here. For me I'm uncomfortable with the blow back from the hosts. I've encountered so much rudeness when declining playdates, parties etc that I almost always decline via email. I don't know how many times I received a phone call from a mom wanting to know why we're declining while mom is clearly upset. I have also used sly dial to leave a message on the mom's phone so I wouldn't have to talk. I'm not a shrinking violet either, there are just too many rude parents. [/quote]
