Does asking for TA or RA position hurt admissions in a fully funded program (physics)?

I am filling out applications for PhD programs in physics and not sure how to respond when a school asks if I would like to be considered for a TA or Research assistanship. The answer is yes I would love to teach / do research, but no, I don't need the money to supplement whatever stipend they would be providing (my parents can help me) . I want to answer in the way that makes me the most competitive for admissions. Hope that makes sense! Does anyone know?
