Common times we say “Yes,” but don’t mean it
“I believe people say yes to work requests they really do not want to do the most. Next, saying yes to family and friends is a close second. However, the requests people say yes to truly vary. I’ve seen people repeatedly say yes to babysitting for others, only to have parents constantly show up late to pick their kids up, or to ask that the child stay overnight, though it was not a part of the original request. They [the babysitter] really didn’t have the time in the first place and now is being stretched thin.”
