Trash talking, how can I say no more! My next door neighbor is handicapped. Her husband left her because she was a witch to him. Hubby and I witnessed several things where she didn't beat him up because she can't walk.
She has somebody who cleans her house and takes her trash out. We have trash pick up Tuesdays and Fridays.
I don't know if I'm being taken advantage of, but my neighbor calls me at least 3 times a week to help her take her trash out because her cleaning lady always has an excuse not to come and get her trash out.
Honestly, i'm getting tired of that. I not only not take my own trash out (When we got married we agreed he would take the trash out), but also she wants me to go get her mail. This has been going on since August of last year.
I work sometimes longer than 40 hours a week, I come home to take care of my house and my husband and furbutts, I'm to the point were I feel like telling my neighbor not to call me anymore to get her trash out!!!She's asked me a few times to scoop her cat's litter box!! I don't want to say no because I know if I don't do it her cat is going to be using a dirty litter box and I don't like my cats to use a dirty litter box, but at the same time I'm not her cleaning lady!!!
Her cleaning lady is taking advantage of her because she only comes to clean her house whenever she wants to, because I think she knows that if she doesn't come I'm going to help my neighbor with her trash, mail and litter box. She conveniently gets migraines or pms cramps before trash day.
Hubby already told me to stop doing that for her because although she is handicapped and doesn't have anybody else she needs to either call her cleaning lady or find somebody else. He tells me I already have enough in my plate doing our own house.
I feel bad to tell her that I can't do it anymore , what kills me is that she is very nice and sometimes she tries to give me goodies for helping her, I don't take them of course,but what also makes me feel bad is that I put myself in her shoes and I wouldn't like somebody to tell me that they don't want to help me anymore i was handicapped.
What should I do? Should i continue to help her? Should I tell her I'm not going to help her anymore? and if so how do I do it?
Who si taking advantage of me her or her cleaning lady?
Please advice!!! |
