[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 138031, member: 3907"] It's a hard lesson to learn, David. If you just get on with things and don't complain about how hard they are, then people assume that whatever it is, is "easy" for you, much easier than it is for them. And because it's so easy for you, well you have the time and scope to help with their issues too. If you're always there for people, then they'll assume that you'll always be there, and furthermore, that you don't ever need them to be there for you. I agree with you, that it's time to say no. The other thing is, when you start valuing your own time and energy, others will follow suit. Hard lesson to learn, no matter when you learn it. Trinity [/QUOTE]
