[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I totally get it and would feel the same as you. I'm an anxious person and my life always feels too busy, so taking on even a small favor/responsibility for a prolonged period of time would start to bother me for all the reasons you've mentioned. I wouldn't mind doing it for someone I really loved (like close friends or family), but just an acquaintance, it would grow old.

I have neighbors like that, I've learned my limits and just say no when I reach them and they usually respect that. I am more comfortable inconveniencing myself than asking for favors and sometimes when I do ask I am told no, so it goes both ways.

When it comes to favors do what you're comfortable with [b]and not what society dictates[/b].[/quote]

I think that generally speaking, "society" dictates that OP has been extremely generous to be have dealt with this ongoing imposition and inconvenience in order to 'help out' parents who quite frankly should not have had more children since they don't seem to be willing or able to handle them.

It's just a few entitled "but it takes a VILLAGE!" entitled nutcases on DCUM who think that their decision to have (or have more) children should be someone else's problem. Even if that someone else is not even a relative or friend (which would already be bad enough, really) but just a random person who happens to live in your subdivision.

Still SMH.[/quote]
