[QUOTE="timer lady, post: 88123, member: 393"] There is a word that you need to use (husband as well) - even with family. Now get ready because it works really well. The word is "no". You catch that - I'll repeat it for you. "No" It's amazing how well you can get out from under something by calmly saying no, this won't work out this time around. You might want to check into airline tickets. It's hard to say "no" to family members; the sooner you learn the more you'll be able to relax. The sooner your family will learn a bit of respect for you & not to ask you or husband unreasonable, rude, unmanageable or inconvenient requests. And, in the end, you & husband may be able to enjoy visits with your family. You're right - husband deserves an award. I hope his trip is safe & quiet. [/QUOTE]
