yard sale
I am having a yard sale. And I told my friend who lives next door, that she had anything she was welcome to bring it over.
The promblem is that she is not only bring things over for her but, she has things her family has asked her to sale and her co-workers.
I asked if she was going to be able to help me. She said she would come over for a little while. But won't be able to stay very long.
I am now overwhelmed, I have a 2 year old and a 4 year old, and a yard sale. The first day my husband has to work so he can't help. Do you think it is right that she is bringing stuff for other people. Without asking me? And if so, how can I get her to understand that it is almost too much for me?

You should let your friend know its messed up to pin all that work on you. What does she think, your home is a flea market? Doesn't she know that that yard sale isn't your only responcibility? Plus if she wants to voulunteer in adding more junk, she should volunteer in helping to get rid of it, whether she puts in time or she gets some friends, preferably the ones who gave her all that stuff, to come help you. If she can't understand that, then tell her to get rid of her own stuff.

What your neighbor did was very rude, and I am sure she has no idea that it was. You should deffinetly talk to her and tell her how much work she has created for you. It's fine to have a friend bring a few things, but it is another when you turn into a Goodwill. Tell her you are feeling overwhelmed with all the items she has added to your sale, and that you would really appreciate some more help. She probably just hasen't realized what she has done.

Dear Yard Sale,
Well naturally it is not that cool that she would do that to you without your permission, and I will admit that. But the question I would be more concerned about pending that problem is that do they expect you to give them the money from their "stuff", you might want to ask before a big riot rises between you and your friend and her friends. And Naturally thats the beauty of friends that have to accept an answer you give them, if you tell them you can't take anymore then thats it whether they like it or not. And just ask her if she can afford to stay longer or if she is going to be home ask her if she will watch your children. All you need to do is view your options and choose the best, honestly I think she should watch your children only because you are helping her out and well her friends out as well. So I'm sure you will make the right decision and this helped.

This could be a very ticklish subject if you do not handle it carefully as friends can act very funny if they are being told off about something which they had taken for granted, it could be long lasting.
what you need to do is to explain to your friend the position you are in as far as looking after the other peoples goods and as there are co-workers besides herself suggest to her that they come and help with the disposal of their property, if this fails tell her straight that you cannot do it.after all who wants friends like that
