What she's saying is, she knows it's a chore either way, but shouldn't the one asking the favor do more of the chore part? -- nm - TFox Jun 16, 12:58 6
- Yeah, kare recognizes that parents have part of the chore. I just think neither side is wrong is asking for what they want. - musubi Jun 16, 13:00 5
  - yeah, i agree. i do think the fact that even family doesn't let the kids stay with Aunt Kare is a hair weird. - TFox Jun 16, 13:02 4
    - no no, sorry, nieces and nephews *have* actually stayed with me over the years. - kare Jun 16, 13:04 3
      - i see what you are saying, and i'm with you. - TFox Jun 16, 13:06 2
        
        This is the thing. I think *most* parents try to make it flexible for friends/family. Her situation is the outlier, not the norm. (nm) - musubi Jun 16, 13:07 1
        
        And to be fair, maybe her sit is the norm, and I'm just not understanding it. (nm) - musubi Jun 16, 13:19
