[quote=Anonymous]I don't think people are objecting to helping family - I believing helping people is a normal part of family relations. But what I object to, is a sense of entitlement from family members that expect me to help with their children if they need it (and they need it often), but they don't carry the same ethic of reciprocating. It's one thing to believe that family helps each other out. It's another thing entirely, to think that this goes one-way. One needn't keep score - but everyone doing things for each other, once in a while, is a normal expectation. I stopped doing things for extremely needy family members, because they couldn't seem to set aside a small amount of time (a minute fraction of the time I gave to them), to help me out when I needed it. An important part of families is to back each other up. Not just have them do stuff for you. [/quote]
