Opinions greatly appreciated, this might be be a bit lengthy but will try to keep as short as possible! My neighbour lives in a flat upstairs and she cares for her elderly mum who is very unwell. Over the past year or so I have helped her on numerous occasions, the lady has trouble with her mobility. She is very overweight and struggles to drive/walk far/ walk up and down the steps to their flat. She will often text me asking if I can pick some things up/take pets to vet/ take her bin bags down which I have never said no to. However, I can't help but think she is starting to take the biscuit? The other week when I took her pet to the vet she asked me if I would mind "painting and resealing her bathroom". This week she asked me to pick up some things for her from a specific shop, which i wouldn't be able to get to till this weekend as I work full time and it closes at 5. When I said this, she said ok that's fine. I then texted her on Friday to double check what she needed- and in response to some of the items she said "don't worry about that I will get them later".... To which I think why the hell am I rushing around trying to help Her when she freely says she will go do it herself?!
So- am I just horrible for not wanting to help her anymore or is she just starting to take the ?
