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?

Not at all! You already work full time and have your own family to take care of. You have other priorities right now at home and with your family planning. She’s kind of a jerk for continuing to ask after you’ve told her no.

Okay 😔 I just hate feeling like I'm being a horrible friend for saying no. And I have always been horrible at saying enough or no. But after I had my daughter in 2017 I had to speak up.

This is what happens when a littles sister doesn't listen and goes a bit bridezilla. She wants all her sisters to wear the same thing for her wedding in a few weeks. I told her "I can wear something as similar as I can make it, but being pregnant I can't wear the same exact thing. It just won't work". Then she settled on a denim shirt dress. Cute, but wouldn't work on me normally, let alone pregnant (I'm pretty tall). She said she'd just femme a bigger size to fit over the tummy. I told her the tummy would also make it even shorter. She wouldn't listen.
