[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad you are not part of my village OP, where we moms help each other out.  We don't tally who did what this week, because we know we've all got each others' backs.  If I drove more during camp, other mons in my village drive more during the school year and vice versa.  Friends help each other out, without whining, complaining, etc.

Go crawl back into your dark hole, and stay there by yourself.  And oh, BTW, hope you are never in a jam of having made summer camp plans back in January and then started a new job and couldn't drive, or have an aging parent with an emergency, or heaven forbid you or your spouse have a health emergency and you need to count on friends to help you out...

NP here -

You have give and take situations where you ask someone to help you out with your kid in an emergency and they graciously help you out in the pinch.  It's casual, nobody is keeping score, but it's a give and take.

Then you have the freaking users, who impose on you over and over again, it's a major pain in the tushy, and they get mad when you finally speak up.  Good riddance to these jerks.  They add drama nobody needs.

I've been in both situations.  Get rid of the users in your life, nobody needs them.  And don't let them make you feel bad about saying no, but understand that's one of their manipulative tactics to get you to say yes.[/quote]
