When you have that one annoying friend who won't take no for a answer..ok I'm 4 months pregnant..i just started working. I went from sitting all day to standing all day. I'm swollen and hungry and tired..and she wants me to burn my gas for work so i can take her to visit her stupid boyfriend who is in jail..so I'll get to sit in the car for 2 more hours no food, still tired and swollen..and she is pretty much begging me to take her,, no matter how much i say no it doesn't register in her head..(Ph hey maybe she isn't feeling to great maybe i should back off). So now not only am i swollen, hungry, and exhausted..i have a splitting headache!

Honey, if you cannot learn to say no to a whiny friend who is (nominally) an adult and (presumably) can handle the rejection of a negative answer, how will you deal with a fussy 2-year-old who wants chocolate, or doesn't want to go to bed, or demands a toy at the store? If you think your friend won't take no for an answer, the willfulness of toddlers and children will knock you off your blocks.

Make your mouth form this word.  "N o."  Then ask her to please stop asking you.  You don't have to defend any of it with distances, gas prices, waiting in the car when swollen, or anything.  You can say no even if the place is next door and you are feeling fine.  You don't want to do it, and that is all you need as justification.

Take care.
