[quote=Anonymous]I have learned to only say "yes" if I want because there are users who absolutely will not reciprocate when you desperately need help. If your kid is a great friend of mine and pleasant in the car-no problem. if your kid is PITA. I say no. If I have too much going on in my life I decline. I find the people who can't handle "no" are the people you most need to get away from anyway because they don't accept BOUNDARIES. The people who think it is NBD to ask when they aren't truly in a bind are the same who think it's a BIG DEAL when you finally need help. OP you have to let go of keeping up an image and needing people to like you. Users smell this need and take advantage. I will bend over backwards for true friends, but otherwise I do what works for our family. Just find it entertaining when the users get snippy about "no." If you keep saying NO they move on to a new prey. [/quote]
