DH says I should grow a pair (and is probably right)

At beginning of school year a mum who has to pick preschool child up mid day as well as older child at school end hinted that she was looking for a school run - school is 3 miles away. I offered to help out; she has never offered any help back, is this usual?

I have started to feel a bit bitter about it since I was having a chat with another mum about school run next year and when I said I might help out a bit she immediately said 'oh well I could then help you out a few days too.'

AIBU to feel slightly put upon? I know DH is right, but if I grow a pair what do I say? She is a tricky person and I can't quite explain how she has made it hard for me to ask favours (there are other issues but it is probably dull to outsiders!), I have no problem asking other mums or doing stuff for other people, so why is this one difficult when I already do a lot for her?

She is a taker, and has found a mug in you. Stop doing it for her.

I would say that due to changes in your circumstances you're unable to do the school run for her anymore. You don't have to elaborate on this to her.

She sounds like she is taking the piss TBH

I wouldn't explain. I'd just say I can't do it anymore.

Great, I was beginning to think I was being a bit of an ungenerous cow as I often say I can't a day when I could Blush
