Was I too nice?
I had a friend who came out to stay with me while my husband is deployed. I let her come out with no money, stay at my house for free, and told her I expected her to look for a job and then I also asked her if she would mind watching my children while I went to school at night. She agreed and I also told her if it got to be overwhelming then to tell me so that I could fnd a sitter. I also gave her a cell phone to use to stay in contact with her family. I also told her she was free to leave at anytime as long as she could pay for it. Yesterday she called me and said she needed to go home. I was like okay when you get paid on Monday she could leave. She then got more upset and proceeded to throw her fit and made me feel guilty so I bought her a bus ticket home. Now I find out she has made up her mind to go home weeks ago and wasn't going to tell me. I feel like she used me for a free vacation and a free ride home. Was I too nice or giving to her?

You trusted her and, the was it looks as of now, she used and betrayed you.
I'd say you went beyond the call of duty when it comes to friendship. Buying her a bus ticket out of your life is probably one of the best investments you'll ever make.
Don't cave and allow her back in....In other words, don't be too good for your own good.

I would definitely say so, especially since she knew way ahead in advance that she wanted to go home. You offered and gave so much to her, and that was your thanks in return? Doesn't seem like such a great friend. But now you know that for the next time she may try to come back over.
