Not often enough

I must say it becomes easier as we get old, as you lose the need to please everybody or, like me, you’re beggining your menopause journey so you don’t give as many fucks.

At work I am starting to see the power of saying “no” or at least not saying “yes” at face value. That is a form of saying “no” too.

However parenting nowadays is an area where we’re seen as abusive if we say “no” often, even if we know it is for a greater good.

Confidently saying “no” is a work in progress.
