I hate feeling emotionally manipulated. A friend of mine wants me to watch her kids Wed-Sun 4p-10p for 200 bucks a week. I'd love to watch the kids. But I am already emotionally and mentally taxed. I work full time Mon-Fri 7a-330p. After work I try to spend time with my toddler and do some home projects and clean up plus make dinner. To top that all off hubby and I have a large home project coming up in 2 weeks as well as me starting fertility treatments and Idk how I'm going to feel with work stress.

So i told my friend no. Well all week she says but they love you, I'd pay you, the babysitter I had an interview with flaked on me. Each time I have told her no. Gave her my reasons tried to help her even find a sitter and nope I get that's alright I guess I just can't work but thanks anyways.

Am I a jerk for saying no?
