I just rang her and said no... Its a first! I just explained that I thought I was the wrong person for the job at the moment... she seemed very understanding! I hope she really does understand - I dont want this to affect our friendship later on.
It was so hard to say no... my heart was racing and felt like I was close to having heart failure LOL. But Lulu your right I feel relieved! So relieved!
I don't think it's rude generally, but in your situation (being pregnant and having placenta previa) it is a bit strange she'd ask you. Most importantly though, you need to say no! You're a grown woman, be strong and be firm
i think it was quite a lot to ask of you in your current position. good on you for saying no - i'm exactly the same as you & have so much trouble saying it sometimes but lulu is right, it's so relieving to just say it & get it out of the way. i'm sure your friend will have no problem with you saying it
Good on you for speaking up.
She wouldn't be much of a friend if she didn't understand your position - and if she can't find time to go hiking with her man this week maybe next week while she's in GREECE (that's just me being jealous - lol)
I think her setting up a nanny for once a week is a great idea, but she's not the one asking for advice he he
