When the line is crossed from being helpful on occasion to being bombarded with requests as you enter your building, it’s time to reassess.
This woman either needs to pay for the services or find someone who will.
She doesn’t need a neighbor, she needs a husband. In lieu of that, she needs a handyman.
No way would I allow myself to be badgered like that.
And the daughter should be offering to pay if she wants the neighbor’s help if the mom can’t afford it.
I told her what I said here and she said she has to drive a long distance to come help her mom and begged me to go back to at least picking up her groceries again as it would take a massive chore away.
I said no, she started crying and insisted. I closed my door at that point.
Manipulators manipulate.
Helping someone is never compelled. It's voluntary and NO ONE is obligated to do so.
Clearly the old lady taught her daughter well.
Ah. That’s different. The daughter can order her groceries on line and have them delivered. Sound like users.
Why wouldn’t the daughter simply offer a few bucks.. provided she has it.
Picking up groceries once a week, bs having to drive long distances etc. seems a fair trade but daughter didn’t even offer?
