Dawn's Digression.

Sometimes I think you really shoot yourself in the foot when you do someone a favor. The first couple of times you do something for someone, they are usually pretty grateful and want to talk about how wonderful you are. The third time, they might say "Thanks." But then, all of sudden, whatever this favor is that you've been doing for them is suddenly your very own task. The person quits even attempting to take care of it. Because what was once a favor, now becomes an expectation.

That's sucky and it makes me not want to do that particular person any more favors. And I have to wonder if I do the same things. I bet I do. And I know just the person to ask. I think I'll ask Michele. When I remember to do so. It is just ludicrous that just because you help someone out a couple of times, they can't do it themselves anymore.
