My mom's book club wants free updos every month, and I'm stuck in the middle
She tells them I'll do it as a favor, but it eats into my Saturday client slots. On one hand, I want to help her and keep peace, but on the other, this is my job and that time adds up. I feel guilty thinking about saying no, but I also know my skills have value. How do you guys deal with family expecting free work? Is it ever okay to put your foot down, or do you just suck it up for family sake?
