My neighbor was a phenomenal support to us after the accident happened. We were having hard times with my son in the hospital. We couldn\u2019t get everything done. It was great for us that she could bring us food like some eggs or some soup and even go around our house to water the plants.<\/span><\/p>\n That situation led me to think she had a big heart.\u00a0It was almost a relief when she asked me for a favor, which was to watch the finals at my house. It was gratifying to reciprocate.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n What happened was that the third time, I was going out of town for the weekend and she asked me to leave the key where she could find it so she could watch football at my place while I was gone.\u00a0The truth is, I did not want to do it.\u00a0And\u00a0the more I explained this to her, the\u00a0more she suggested ways she could collect and return the key.<\/span><\/p>\n Later it came up that we spend weekends at our beach house, and she asked me to take her son with us. I thought, wait, her sister also has a beach house. Why do I have to take her son to ours? So I asked her, \u201cDoesn\u2019t your sister have a place?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n When I saw her last message on Whatsapp I honestly didn\u2019t want to answer it, to see if she figured out how inappropriate she was being. My son found her son at our door and didn\u2019t know what to say, so I suggested he say \u201cno\u201d and give various excuses to eventually convince her that there are some things she just cant ask for. Every weekend it was a new excuse, like we were having the house painted, my parents in law were coming, etc., to see if she would stop asking.<\/span><\/p>\n Oh, and I told her that we would not pay for premium cable.\u00a0\u00a0The trouble is that now she wants to come over to my house to watch every movie she likes, because she says our TV is better.\u00a0What can I say now?\u00a0It keeps bothering me but I will\u00a0avoid arguing with her, because I\u2019d never want to create drama with her after she was so generous.\u00a0Let\u2019s\u00a0see if she realizes<\/b>\u00a0what is happening with everything that she asks me for.<\/span><\/p>\n Which is better? Her constantly asking me for favors or me giving excuses and giving alternative offers so I don\u2019t hurt her? Or is there a solution?<\/span><\/p>\n\n My neighbor was a phenomenal support to us after the accident happened. We were having hard times with my son in the hospital.
