Could someone teach me to say no please?
My Mom really wants to go on vacation. I have a multiple deja vu! She asked me if I could give her money so she can go. Sigh. I said no…
… but today I said yes. And you really dont want to know how I will pay for it.
I am going to tell you tomorrow when its final.
Uhoh.

do you join her? I mean, you could need a vacation now, couldn’t you?
*argh* … but I know it’s hard to keep on saying no – especially with your family

Connie, I hate to sound rude but your mom really shouldn’t be asking you, who works, for money. I know it must be hard to say no to someone you love, my sister and I have been in the same situation and I know from experience that it sucks! My middle sister just had her baby at 19 years-old and she asks our parents and my other sister for money all the time. I guess that is really a different story but … um … yeah.
Sorry I know I sound so stupid.

Yes, why don’t you go with her? You deserve a vacation. Or at least work something out so you will benefit in some way. I am sorry if I sound harsh. :-\
