Don't you hate in when people force you into a position you didn't want to be in?

You know pushy people who won't take NO for an answer.

A woman I know wanted me to run an club for 10-13 year olds every Wed. I was honoured to be asked but for various reasons am just not in a position to commit to this.
She wouldn't take no for an answer despite me clearly explaining why I couldn't, so I ended up just not responding to her. Now she's all acting like I'm the big bitch for not doing it...(She decided 2 years ago she wanted me to do this) She has found someone else to run it, and then has offered my son a place in it, of course now I cannot take a place for him in the club..
also if things didn't work out with that woman, she'd start at me again about running it, telling me how my son needs someone there..

UGH, I just hate that she did this.. she's made everything really awkward.

There are people like that everywhere!
I work with youngsters in the care system.
That often means I have dealings with my bosses, local authority bosses and charity places.
And once they know you're committed to what you do. They are ENDLESSLY trying to set up their 'own babies' with the intention of dragging ME into running/overseeing it!!!!
Don't feel remotely awkward about it!
Your needs are what has to come first!
When it comes to decision making, you don't make them with like or dislike in mind.
You make them based on what you HAVE to do for your son/other half/family etc BEFORE you even get to what YOU want!
If this woman can't understand that. That's her problem. Certainly shouldn't be YOURS!

I hate that too, no free guitar set ups or lessons here! $1000, so they say no and I am not bothered again.

It's extremely awkward and very unfair.
