"You're just the most reliable": Second grade teacher takes advantage of 35-year-old mom's generosity by expecting her to pick up other parents' slack when they drop the ball on volunteering, turn nasty when she finally says no

"No" is a complete sentence. Have you ever heard that phrase before? It's an important one. If you're anything like me, you spent the better part of your life letting people walk all over you because you were scared to disappoint. If that sort of thinking is built in to your personality, then you go one of two ways: you either start lying and making up excuses to weasel your way out of things that you don't want to do, or you commit to everything and eventually reach a breaking point. Either way, everyone learns eventually that "no" is a complete sentence. You don't always have to provide an excuse or an explanation, and you certainly don't ever have to be pressured to commit.

In our story today, our protagonist finds herself being relied on way too heavily by the school staff when other parents flake on their volunteer duties. It all comes to a head when she misses a business opportunity after being contacted last-minute to help out. She finally learns to say "no."
