H rings and I tell him we will ring back as D is eating dinner. He asks, are you going into town tomorrow? I stupidly say, I might... (should have just said, don't think so!)
He then says, would you do me a favour?
I say, well, it depends, what is it?
H sounds annoyed, (I'm not jumping at his command without hearing what the favour is!) and says to go to that shop in Street T and buy a tin of tobacco and send it up with D this weekend.
I said I would see.
I really don't understand - correction, I do I do! - how this guy just wants me to keep running and servicing him. When D rang back later, H said to her to remind me to get the tobacco. He is manipulative, isn't he? D comes and tells me I must remember to get it for Dadddy.
If I say straight out "NO!" then I am vindictive - and he will make me PAY by being uncooperative about holiday dates and stuff, I know it.
I used to think that H is just lazy and self centred about stuff like that, but I am beginning to see that he is quite manipulative too.
I guess I might just not have the time or I might just forget. Things he used to do all the time!
Input appreciated...
