For example, water with a hand nozzle for what feels like an appropriate time, and then dig down a few inches. “You may be surprised to see the soil beneath the surface is still dry,” she said. “Experience will teach you how long you really need to water to have an effect.”
If the children request something that you don’t have on hand, you can say, “Oh, we don’t normally eat Malted Chocolate Power Puffs for breakfast so I don’t have any in the house, but I can toast a mini-bagel for you.” If this becomes more of an issue, the parents and grandmother are on hand, and you can readily defer to them.

Your female relatives in their 30s feel personal pressure to be all things to all people (their children, parents, partners, supervisors).
