[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 559969, member: 1514"] Suzir...yes, when my son moved out I realized that No was a complete sentence and I didnt have to justify my response which I used to do all the time with him. I used to hem and haw constantly like I had to appease him as if he would dislike me if I didnt give in. Now if he asks for something I dont want to do I simply tell him No and he accepts it because he has learned that begging doesnt work. In fact begging tends to make me dig in my heels more. No is a complete sentence. Now there have been times when I have said no but later I have found out that my No can be changed because the situation has changed. Then I will call him back and tell him that I can do whatever it was that he called me about but half the time he has already solved the problem he called me about. [/QUOTE]
