Well I'm very stubborn, so when I say No to something that's what I mean. Never changed my mind when I said no to my children because if I backed down they would know that mom "may" change her mind. Even when my husband tried to get me to change my mind I wouldn't and told him why, he understood but he is a softy where the kids are concerned. Love my kids but I was the one who was always there every single day, day in and day out taking care of them always, he worked a lot and when he was with the military was gone for a 6 months to a year+ at a time. Those were times when the kids are small you can't get back. All the kids (3) are grown and on their own now, youngest is 22, Lord how time flies!
I've always been stubborn even as a child. I would rather get beaten up than to change my mind, that was my mindset I guess as a child. My older brother would hit me if I didn't do his chores for him, never did do his chores no matter what he yelled/called me or did to me. He did some bad things to me besides hitting me, and yes if you are thinking what the "bad" things are, you probably know what that means. I still won't have anything to do with him to this day, and don't know or want to know his wife and kids.Not interested at all. Maybe I'm a bitch, but rather be a bitch than someone who gives in to pressure, I will say my mind when I want to and don't usually have lots of filters when I do, lol.
