Then I try to gather whatever energy I can, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-really-want-to-say-no#post-2345848 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 16:46:44 +0000 Greentea 2345848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I muster, even for a few minutes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-really-want-to-say-no#post-2345837 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 16:43:57 +0000 matador84 2345837@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really try and always say yes. I remember how many times I would ask my mom to play with me or do something with me when I was a young kid and she would alway say no. I know she was tired...but I don't want my kids to remember me like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-you-really-want-to-say-no#post-2345835 Thu, 05 Nov 2015 16:42:09 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2345835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like a bad parent sometimes because my oldest will ask me to play/dance/etc. with her and all I feel like doing is sitting on the couch and not moving. </p> <p>What do you do when that happens? Do you muster up the energy to do what they ask, or do you tell them to play on their own? </p>
