[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So glad to see the responses from PPs in loving, healthy families who don't keep score and/or who understand that someone else (the babysitter) may need them more down the line so things eventually even out. The posters who are keeping score and always harping on "being used" don't understand what it means to be in a loving family. Sad.[/quote] Huh? Who said anything about keeping score? Reciprocating help is not "keeping score" - it's what people do for [i]each other[/i]. Relationship means you relate to each other - that there's an exchange of some sort. It's not about tit for tat or something, but about understanding that the kind thing to do for people who are helping you, is to return some level or degree of effort, and not just take all the time. That's what normal, loving families do.[/quote]
