The alternative is to spread yourself way too thin, do too much for too many people and get yourself all stressed out and triggered and then come home and lose your shit all over your kids. So don’t do that. Say no. Or no thank you. Or I’m sorry, I can’t. Or I can’t right now, but please ask again. Or just plain no. No. No. No. If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for your kids.
