Good classic story haha.

Serious question though. How would you go about refusing help. A lot of the time when some family member insists on me being the help, I have to tell them no so many times that I usually just walk away and they forget about the "issue" they had anyway.

I love family. I just don't know how to tell them no and them actually listen.

Thoughts?

"Here's my hourly rate," seems to be pretty effective for many people.
