Good morning and time again for Papis advice: I will remind you that I am NOT an expert at much of anything but i have been around for a while and have learned many lessons the hard way. Today I am going to tell you NOT to be afraid to say NO when you need to. You will not lose a real friend or the love of anyone important by saying no when it becomes necessary. Sometimes we are asked to do something that we KNOW is not the right thing to do and we sometimes do it because we are afraid to say the word no. Sometimes we have things going on and doing whatever we are asked is just not feasible at the moment but we again say yes many times because we are afraid to say no. We let our children have and/or do things that we are less than happy with because we are afraid to say the dreaded NO. If it does not feel right, say NO. If you cannot do it without putting a strain on something you need or want to do, say NO. If your children want something or want to do something or go somewhere that you do not wish them to do, say NO. I am not advocating just arbitrarily saying no to be unpleasant but the word no and the action of stopping or refusing something does NOT have to damage a relationship. Bottom line is if it needs to be said, do not be afraid to say no. Sometimes by agreeing to something can cause you to feel resentful and THAT will do more damage than saying no would have in the first place. Every answer does not have to be yes.
