I'm in a weird situation with family. I'm a stay at home mom and I don't have outside help. When I do get it it's from extended family and it's rare like I'm in the hospital having a baby rare. To thank people I tend to bake them items give gift baskets gift cards and thank you letters from my small children.

I'm a stay at home mom and I think sometimes my elderly family romanticizes my time with my young kids. I do bake for my family regularly to save money and so they have healthy food options.

When my extended family talks to me they ask for more baked items for themselves and to gift to others. I don't have a ton of spare time. I'm a solo stay at home mom all day night and I'm the one doing the doctor's sports and breastfeeding. I try to explain how exhausted I am but family keeps putting in requests for items to have home made.

I started opting out of gifting baked goods and now gift gift cards in hopes they stop asking me.

I'm not a bakery and honestly I'm just trying to keep my kids fed and well that is my job.

I recently had a cousin watch our children for a date first one in six months I gifted her sourdough starter and all the things to make her own and she basically just asked me to make her bread and she didn't want the items just me to make them.

I'm grateful for help once in a blue mood but family then puts in requests for baked goods all the time following the help. Which totally negates the help when it's creating me more issues.

I'm a stay at home mom not a bakery. I started saying no nicely but I mean by the third time I'm annoyed. How do I get out of this pattern nothing is working!!!! Help this frustrated stay at home mom who is sick of baking!
