Hello hive learners community members nice to be here again this week .
Trust we are doing great kudos to the administrative team for all they do here in this community we appreciate 🙏 you all.
The topic is an interesting one and I'm so excited to share my thoughts on it.
We know that every family has their own dynamics and are special in their own way. Be it over bearing or over caring there's only so much one can take from family members when they are becoming too over bearing.

I will give an instance of a family member that always took advantage of the fact that I have a soft spot for children and would always come to me asking for money for the children and used other tactics to always get money from me. But everyone has their limits like I said when I couldn't take it anymore I simply blocked all means of communication with him.

You don't abuse an assistant one too often you will be being. To see them have this "entitlement mentality"I will simply avoid that family member. Of I can assist you and you take it to that level I simply just push you off.
When it comes to being too kind or telling me it's for my own good that they do what they are doing I try and set things straight we are all entitled to our feelings and opinions you can't force yours on me and want me to do it just because it you .
Really we need to know when to set boundaries with family members if not they won't know when it's enough .
When not to talk when to just listen when to just be there for that person not everything requires actions some just need a little patience and understanding 🙏
For me setting boundaries has helped me and I will keep at so long it helps me keep my sanity and peace of mind.
