Advice columnist Carolyn Hax: remember to decline favor requests from ingrates.
Dear Carolyn
Adapted from a recent online discussion.
DEAR CAROLYN: I know this will go away in a little while — but my sister-in-law had a baby this week (yay!), and three of the people she had asked to assist with the delivery were unavailable. I ended up being drafted into the delivery room at the end of a VERY long labor. It was amazing, I was totally freaked out and I was happy to assist.
Here’s the problem: When she tells the story of the delivery, it’s all about endless hours of all of us bothering her.
