[quote=Anonymous]I agree with this person previously. It is disturbing to blast your grievances on social media. Also, the food trains and guilt trips crazy and out of control. I was asked to be on one for a family I knew was gluten free and had numerous allergies the "saint" arranging it was not aware of any of it and refused to at least mention it. My friend could not risk having ANY of the food. We got her food we knew was safe on our own, but she didn't feel right advocating for herself when the food train leader ignored what I said.

My mother received all sorts of kindness. I was there daily helping when dad was toward the end. She got food gifts from neighbors. The list goes on and she appreciated none of it, yet she complains that nobody will do anything for her when she has a minor surgery. It's because she can't be gracious and her "thank you" is said with an annoyed face.

It's best to just appreciate what people do and have grace and assume you aren't the only one facing things. Even when one of my kids had minor surgery I could not there for a friend until recover was over. There are still risks, doctor appointments, follow ups, pharmacy runs, making sure records arrived and I had nothing left to give. Once I saw my kid was healing well, then I could shift focus.Others may have decided I didn't have a good excuse, but too bad. I had a cousin die during a minor surgery due to a bad anesthesia reaction. I needed all my reserves for my kid.
