I always figured that if I didn't know what to say NO to how could I fairly say YES.<br />It always shocks people when one says NO. BUT, they may be angry for a short while but will learn some respect for others.<br />People do what works.<br />I've been where you are.

In conclusion, tell them your shower's now for family members only. Or, if you really want to test their resolve, tell them the cost is now $5 per head- towels are $5 more and soap is $5 per use. After all, you have to clean the bath, do the laundry, and the added inconvenience... dang, lotsa reasons they should get their own water fixed. <br />What's happening is you are 'enabling' them with your generosity. And when the doodoo flies, they're going to be the first banging on your door wanting in, food, shelter, showers and anything else they can get from you. <br />What are you going to tell them then?<br />So, IMO, tell them the train just left the station and they missed it. It's time for the man of their house to Man-up.<br />And 'Manning-up' is exactly what the fed in control does not want us to do. <br />Shy IIIShy Wolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12708293970831678927noreply@blogger.com
