[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd chalk up these 10 minutes to being a wonderful neighbor and teaching your children how to also be wonderful neighbors. You do it because it's the right thing to do, even if it's not the most convenient. [b]Tiny infant twins is an all hands on deck type of thing[/b]. I would keep helping her for the next few weeks. Maybe not until Spring like others have suggested, but I'd keep the routine until winter break. Then you can suggest she find an alternate plan for her kid(s). I would not expect reciprocation pretty much ever for this type of favor. Except maybe some very sincere and grateful THANK YOUs when you see her.[/quote] For family, maybe. For neighbors, sorry, no. This was not an "accident" that needs a few days of help. This is not a one time deal. It is NOT a neighbors responsibility to "have all hands on deck" because the other mother has 3 kids. I'm not buying that. Hire help. That's what normal people do.[/quote]
