Even though she has a very very sick child whose in and out of hospital?
I feel like a really horrible person for saying no.
Basically neighbour and I rent from the same housing association, she lives opposite.
She has an extremely sick child, we’re talking wheelchair bound on oxygen in and out of hospital sick. I’ve seen ambulances outside the house and she and the child (who I’d guess is around 7) disappear for months at a time, so assuming they’re in hospital.
Housing Association have asked me a couple of times now (via the housing officer) if I would keep hold of a key and they’d let me know when repairs where needed for the neighbours house and I can just let them in. I don’t want to. I don’t want the responsibility, I don’t want to have to make sure I’m in for her repairs as well as mine, I just don’t want to. What happens if neighbours stuff goes missing? What if I need to work when they're there? (I keep an eye on them in my own home, as in watch them and make sure they only go in the rooms they're supposed to) What if the works not right? I just don't want the responsibility.
Similarly neighbour has asked me to take and keep hold of parcels because she has no-one else, no family, and very few friends.
I have a child with SN, who I’m a single parent to. So I do get how hard it is when you have no-one (I at least have ExH who doesn’t agree DC has SN but does take DC for a weekend EOW which gives me a break) but I have enough to be dealing with in my own life and DCs without having to think about someone else and another house.
AIBU? I feel like I am
