[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently I’ve had a lot of sick, close friends. Not cancer. Just the normal stuff but lingering forever and really affecting their week.

I’ve been able to step up for a few fitness and bring delicious dinners.
One friend I couldn’t. Honestly.. my life carries on. My kids needs carry on. I’m not a superhero.

She specifically texted me and so I brought her some soup I had just made. Not a big dinner’s worth but enough for her. Some hot rolls and snacks for her kids.

I get the impression she was mad that it wasn’t a dinner. That’s what I was able to do. I don’t regret anything because I did what I could.

I suspect some people don’t help because they absolutely cannot fit it in. There have been times I’m going straight from soccer to birthday gift buying for a kid party, to sleep. To wake up early, to quick buy some milk, to Saturday events start. All morning out of the house. Come home and eat, take a quick nap, get kids to stop fighting. Etc etc. All weekend living my life. It’s those times I can’t help other people. [/quote]

I’d stop at Giant and buy two large containers of chicken noodle soup, a rotisserie chicken, a bag of salad and some rolls, before I’d show up at someone’s, house with one serving of anything.

If I didn’t want someone to feel guilty that i’d spent a lot of money in prepared food I’d transfer to home or disaster containers. Absolutely no way I’d show up at the house of someone with kids with only enough food for the sick person and big enough for her kids.

You sound very immature, kind of mean, performative and very frazzled. You think you have it together but you really don’t.

Much better to be a kind hearted but frazzled person who brings store bought soup, a rotisserie chicken and some rolls than a bean and or chit counting jerk looking for a pat on the head. [/quote]
