So my sister texts me today. She got a phone call from our aunt (whom she disparages me to on the regular, so that aunt no longer talks to me) about a cousin who has heart problems. So, I used this as the opportunity to decline dog sitting WHICH I DID decline. I wrote, "Sorry but I can't dog sit for you on [dates]. My sister texted back, "What's going on?" I chose not to take her bait. So, I grey rocked my sister with "I am not able to dog sit on those dates." Luckily, my sister didn't try to argue with me about it via text.

I'm really proud of myself you guys. I declined dog sitting and I didn't explain myself or apologize for that boundary with my sister.
