[QUOTE="Andy, post: 271728, member: 5096"] I would say by your post that you are not comfortable in doing this. You have to follow your instincts. Try an answer such as, 1. Use other's advise as already posted. 2. "I am honored that you have asked me to help in this. However, I can not possibly find the time to do a proper job. With the babies coming and the normal hectic life of Spring and Summer, I need to spend all my spare time preparing. I can not possibly be away from home for one more moment. My kids need me now as they switch from Spring to Summer activities." 3. Give no excuse - a simple, "I am sorry, I am just not able to take on anything right now." 4. "I have no free time available. The babies will be here quicker than I a will be ready for. I need to spend extra time with the kids while I can." 5. "Can't, board members say NO WAY!" [/QUOTE]
