I slept at my mother's house. I haven't moved back in yet. W TMs me this morning telling me how she couldn't sleep last night, will be keeping the baby, and if I would do her the favor of dropping off the oldest at summer camp.
In all honesty, I was getting ready to respond with a sure, no problem. I then decided to take a few minutes, think things through. I have no problem helping out, but it seems to me that I don't get the same thoughts in return when she decides to take her "time" and "space". I felt that giving into this request, is enabling her cake eating...am I wrong there?
It just feels so bad to say no to her, and not help out. I want to be there to support and help her with everything.
Just needed to get that thought out....thank you.
EMM - In my mind, theres a line somewhere, but its pretty fuzzy. Especially when it comes to the kids. In my opinion, accept some things when its not too difficult (and when you get extra kiddo time) and turn some things down when you cant or dont really want to do it.
