[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't imagine ever telling a boss no. In all my 15 years I'm pretty sure I've never said no to a favor.[/quote]

How often does she ask?  That is the issue here.  [/quote]
I think for me I don't see them as favors more like my job. I get texts a few times a week to pick up dry cleaning, go to target to get xy and z. Or mail something at the post office. Pick up a starbucks gift card for someone. I don get asked to switch days but I get my start and stop time switched randomly and it just doesn't bother me that much. Like I said for me it's just my job.[/quote]

OP here and none of that stuff is a part of my job (otherwise I wouldn't call the requests "favors").  I do everything directly related to my charges and anything for them.  The "favors" are added on, usually at the last minute.

Again, my point is not that I cannot say "no" or that my employers don't accept "no" -- my point is that I HATE to have to say "no", I hate seeing MB so concerned when I say "no" and I have started resenting even being asked.   [/quote]
