To say NO!

[livingforfreedom]

Okay so my sister has asked me to have her baby overnight next Saturday and usually I would say yes as I love my niece however its on my wedding anniversary.

We are not planning on going out and were just staying in and I hate to say no but I feel like she is taking the biscuit a little bit. What should I say to her?

I'd be tempted by maddening's reply too!

I wouldn't reply at all and then when she inevitably texts in a few weeks asking for a favour I'd just forward her response back to her.

please do the "ok :)" reply. She will probably throw her phone out of the window in a horrible toddler rage.

Oh yes, OK :) would be a great response, please send it.

Could "ok" be a bit misleading? Could she take it to mean "ok I'll do it"?

"Fuck off", however, gives a perfectly clear message

Just remember it's not about you. It's what I try to tell myself and it makes it feel a bit better when I listen.

"Good. Glad we understand each other". ??

I would say'
Well, it's not my anniversary every weekend either. No favours is fine by me. Cheers.

Does she do you lots of favours? Somehow, I can't see it...!

Wow what an entitled brat. Reply "Great!"

I'm really sorry your sister sent that reply to you.That was really nasty and completely unnecessary.Don't feel bad you've done nothing wrong.
I love my Dnieces and Dnephews and they're children(great auntie at a very young age)but I wouldn't want to babysit on my anniversary either,I don't think many people would.

'Cool lol' Would be my reply.

If you haven't already, get yourself over to Relationships/Stately Homes threads.

Learn to resist the lifelong 'guilt/appeasement training' you've had all your life.

Remember Nancy, "Just Say NO"

'As you wish'

Does she do you any favours? I'm guessing no.

Text back "ok "
