[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Won’t you need a favor someday returned? I don’t understand how some of y’all have any friends lol. It’s not a recurring thing, it’s one day where she needs help. If it becomes a recurring ask that’s when you draw a boundary. Or don’t, but then don’t post one of those threads I see on here all the time about not having family in the area to help. These people become your de facto family. Help them. [/quote]

It’s not. The type of person who would suggest you take her 2 year old to the zoo with her instead of going together or that casually suggests they “play at your house” will have these requests often. At some point, you’ll stop knowing if a plan they suggest is real, or a favor brewing. If I had to cancel, I’d just apologize and say we cannot make it. I wouldn’t suggest a neighbor take my 2 year old to the zoo or change her plans to accommodate me. And yes, I do have friends, and I don’t appreciate sneaking in favors like this.[/quote]

Correct. This behavior stinks. [/quote]
