[quote=Anonymous]The OP bashers don’t seem to realize that the neighbor is not entitled to OP’s assistance. Even if she were a relative or close friend, she’s allowed to prioritize herself. They are asking for ongoing, unpaid help. Not for a one-off emergency. My neighbor was genuinely in a bad situation and I helped a few times, but I did not have the energy to assist on a regular basis. It was taking time away from time with my own kids. She also asked for help at night, but when I am done working, caring for my kids, and cleaning up after them, the last thing I want to do is take care of other kids. I treasure my small window of relaxation time before bed. I realize she has no chance to rest and I feel bad for her, but that doesn’t make her problems my responsibility. And why are people acting like OP doesn’t contribute to her community? She already helped this family. And people are allowed to allocate their resources to causes of their choosing. [/quote]
