Whose fool are you ? Now I know this might sound offensive but this was the debate on a radio programme I was listening to .I took a moment to think about and I can recall instances in which people I liked have played me for a fool because I was unable to say "No" and there were others who could have never played .
Consequently in that light ,I ask the question again "whose fool are you ".Now that I have explained the situation somewhat I guess you may now be more willing to answer the question because all I am asking is if there may be someone that you may find very difficult to say no to and no matter what they do you ,you are willing to forgive them .Therefore it could be a family member ,it could be your adorable child (affectionately know as pookie) or it could be your love interest .
Your answer is appreciated

There used to be someone who I could never say no to and she knew it; she was a so called friend who considered herself one of my closest friends providing I towed the line and did everything she wanted me to do! If I dared refuse it would create an argument and of course I would be the worst friend in the world! Thankfully this person has been out of my life for some years now and I will never allow myself to be in such a submissive position ever again! These days my personality is a lot stronger but there is still one little individual I find it impossible to say no to; my daughter...I must stop giving in to her...I’m working on it!

I would have to say my oldest grandson, Josiah. He is the only one i find impossible to say no to. Hes such a jokster too. Intellegent. Pulling pranks. He stands in my room looking at my closet asking me if i have any cookies. Knowing full well i have them there. Hes so responsible for his age. Hes only 10 and soon will be taller than me. He was able to read before he went to school. When i babysit them he will tell me, mom said we can have treats after lunch. While in fact she never said that. He will sound and look so serious that i believe him. When the truth comes out i look at him and hes got a mischevious grim on his face.

I have been a fool to all the girls who are working in my office. Be it in the office I am working or I had worked before. Even if I know the anser to the questions, I would say that I won't know. I just want to be the clown for them.
I am not the fool for my family because I am the eldest son in it and I have to take care of things at home. If I will play a clown then I won't be able to support them. You know sometimes you need to be tough, isn't it?

Without a doubt, I am always playing the fool for my children. My daughter is far more guilty of playing me for a fool than my son is but I believe that the reason for that is because of the fact that she is four years older than her brother. However, now that Paul is three years old and getting far more vocal, he is now starting to to manipulate me as well.
Prior to having children, I was the fool for some of my friends because I had a hard time telling them no.

Hello,friend!I think this title is a little bit offensive.Except real patients,there are no fools in this world.The society is composed by people,and those people will interact each other.In some situation,we may need help from someone else.Family members and friends are in a smaller society with us.We live and do many things together.It's inevitably that evryone needs help.So,as friend,we should give them a hand,and in return we will get help from others.So,I think we need to live with love,gratitude and forgiveness rather than in the sense of "who being whose fool".
Have a nice day!

i think i am a fool of my boyfriend. because i can't really say no to him. i love him and i am willing to do everything for him, and everything he asks of me. but i don't really take it as foolishness though. i believe that his intentions were really honest and true. besides, i am an intelligent person (i think so! haha) so when if its not right to say yes to him or whatever he asks me i will stand for a "NO" already. i am not the type of person that would bow like a fool servant to everything he says. its just that most of the times i can resist him especially when i know it is for our good also. ~ happy mylotting!

I've been told that my children do that to me - LOL. I guess I'm one of 'those' kind of moms but I say that with a smile on my face.

I think you are right there as i do think that there are alot of people that have been played like fools.It is when i had read all that youi had written i had to laugh well yes i was played like a fool,but all i can say is that there is no chance in it ever happening again and i know for a fact that the other person also hates being treated like this.

i'd like to think that i wasn't anyones fool,although i'm probably wrong,most of the time you can't see what is right under your nose,it takes an outsider to notice these things

I do agree one way or another we are all someone's fool.
If your in love you do crazy things. Some even kill them self because of love.
But being someone's fool sometimes is fun and enjoyable.
