[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Some people are takers.[/b] My sister is one. [b]She feels entitled to any support she gets and sees no reason why she should do these things for others. With takers you have to have firm boundaries and realize any generosity you show will not be appreciated or reciprocated.[/b] "No that won't work with me. With the recent loss of my dad, I cannot take on anymore."[b] If she does not even apologize and say she is so sorry for the loss and should not have asked, then you know she is just self-centered.

Also, word of caution. You said you organized the gift card drive. Did you pressure people and put them on the spot or did you leave it open ended and easy to decline? The people who use any pressure tactics reap what they sew. Some people prefer to give a meal. Some will drive a kid. Not everyone wants to do everything when they have their own major life stressors it is never OK to take advantage of others so you can seem like the generous organizer.
