Dude, Just Tell Me...

Anyone that knows me knows that I have a few pet peeves; interrupting me, talking to someone else when I'm in the middle of talking to you, poor grammar/using text abbreviations when typing on a computer...ect.  The list goes on.  But now that I'm a parent, there is another one that is being added to the top of the list: telling me "I'll see what I'm doing that day" when I ask to hang out or if you can watch the girls.  Didn't really use to bother me so much before I had kids, but now that I have to figure things out way in advance, it's super annoying.  If you don't want to, just tell me.  If you're waiting on someone else or confirmation of a plan already pending, just tell me.  If all you say is "ya, I'll see what I'm doing that day", what I hear is "ya, I'll see if I'm doing anything else that's more fun than what you're inviting me to".  If you straight up don't want to, then have the balls to say it.  Especially if I'm asking to babysit the girls.  I can't stand it when I have to wait on someone to tell me if they can or cannot.  I need to know, like now.  There is a reason I'm asking you days in advance.  If you can't, then I need to find someone who can, if I can. Otherwise what I wanted to do has to be scrapped, and I'd rather not wait until the 11th hour to find out. 
So if someone asks you to do something for/with them...please tell them right away a yes or no.  Especially if they have kids.  You're causing more stress letting them hang than if you were to tell them no.
