Ok I think I am going to start making a weekly vent here cause I just need to get stuff off of my chest and don't seem to have much time except stolen minutes before hell breaks loose yet again here.LOL.

 Any way I have been babaysitting for one of my aunts who is younger then me but like two years has three kids but I only watch two out of the three.She is a single mom and she works outside of her home.I really don't have a problem babysitting while she is at work but lately I have been having them overnight like a lot.This week alone they have slept here for 3 nights.I have a problem with saying no and am wondering when I will get the urge not to be some ones door mat.I have panic disorder which I have had a pretty good hold on for awhile but I had an attack earlier this afternoon and told her I couldn't babysit.She was like ok and then she went and asked my hubby to instead.I was like wth??I of course have finally got all 5 kids into bed and am now having some quiet time and am so sore and tired that it is hard for me to relax.Any ideas on any of the complaints here woould be welcomed.

Best idea I have is to first talk to hubby so it's a joint decision.  Then set a limit of how many overnights, days, etc. you want to watch them for your aunt.  Write it down and give two weeks notice.  Anything over those limits she will have to find another provider.  Make sure this is a conversation when you are both relaxed, and let her know that it is not a punishment towards her, but you are stressing with the current load.

It will be hard to say no, but that is why you should write down the limits and post them if necessary.  Let them be house rules that you are following, and it's easier to enforce.

You also might want to have a private conversation with the hubby and how he should respond if appealed to after you say no.
