Sometimes they must be left to deal with their own issues.

Paula, I had something similar. I had a guy hire me to rewrite something. I sent him my version, and he sent it back with multiple edits from his friends. He paid me, but he kept what amounted to his original document. They had given him two pull quotes — apparently, that was better than my writing! LOL Sometimes they do just want validation. He paid, so no problem on my part.

Only friends. One has an excuse ready to dismiss any suggestions I make…but later boasts about what great advice another friend gave her. I've gotten so used to it I say, "Oh – yeah. That's exactly what I suggest a year ago. Glad you finally took MY advice!"
