We have a dynamic in my husband’s family around money. When it is offered, it gets denied. Sounds kind of harsh when I say it that way, but I’m sure you can relate. It’s the ‘here take this towards dinner’ in an egregiously larger amount than their fair share. Then there’s the back and forth of ‘no no, I’m not taking your money’ followed by ‘I insist’. Negotiations may ensue.
Love this! A list is so much easier to start and keep up with, and like free writing can be just as revealing!
