It can be hard for parents to find someone to babysit their kids. In fact, 84% of parents say that finding childcare is a constant battle. If family members and friends are off the table, they might turn to neighbors. There’s one condition though: pressuring them to agree is never a good strategy.


This woman asked people online whether she was a jerk for saying ‘No’ to watching her neighbor’s kids while working from home. As other neighbors started guilt tripping her in the group chat, she started doubting her decision. However, many people sided with the woman, saying she didn’t need any excuses: “‘No’ is a complete sentence,” one netizen wrote.
