Who do you bend over backwards for and never get the same in return?

been there, funny running into this question because I've been there as well. you know it;s so funny how life is, seems like you stick your neck out for other people and for nothing. So now I always worry about myself and my family, just keep doing nice things for your family, because friends never apprecaite what you do for them. and most of all worry about yourself, love and respect yourself above all, sit back and relax.

I try to avoid that...the resentment of feeling 'used' isn't worth the warm-fuzzy of doing something nice for that person.

My child, of course.
