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?
