When Saying No Feels Impossible

Today's episode is called When saying No Feels Impossible.
It is our fourth in the series on how to set Christ like boundaries without feeling guilty.

The mother of this child struggled.
She struggled with following through on responsibility.
She struggled with holding a job.
She liked partying on the weekends and grandma really enjoyed taking care of the baby.
However, she found herself all of the time taking care of this baby randomly.
Sometimes the mom would leave the baby overnight without really expressing when she was coming to pick it up.
So she had no idea how long she's going to have the baby, if it's going to be overnight, if it was going to be the whole weekend and she was just babysitting this baby all the time.
Sometimes she would have her own plans and her own things that she was working on.

And yet we give from a place of burnout. We give from a place of being depleted and exhausted and stressed out, and we just give and give and give and give. But why do we do that?
Why don't we say no? I have a few ideas. We may feel guilty when we say no.
We don't want to disappoint or let other people down. People might be angry if we say no. And isn't char...
