Friendship Question...?

So my best friend's mom always pays for my stuff...even since day 1 that we've hung out. Not only that, but when we go shopping together, she always gets my stuff. And we all know that nothing's for free unless there's something that goes with it. Recently, my "best friend" has been asking me to do a lot of things for her. And she's the clumsy, forgetful type. She doesnt reallt have any friends ...considering that I'm her ownly friend. But I feel like the reaosn why I've hung ariound her is because of her Mom. Her mom is just flat out awesome....Do you think her mom is "paying" me to be her daughter's friend?? Idk, I just fel that I'm ogbligated to do stuff for her at school or when her mom can't because she's at work..or whatever

Update:

Uhh, I liked her daughter. We have our ups and downs just like any other friendship. Maybe you should learn to read. The question is, "Is her mom paying for my things as a way of saying "you need to continue being my daughter's friend BECAUSE she's a quiet girl with no friends."

    I feel the mom is just being a nice person. She isn't paying you. Some moms are just awesome like that. Also, you should just help your friend out, especially if she is as clumsy as you say. It's just the nice thing to do :)

    Do you even like this woman's daughter? She seems to be a generous woman who can afford to pay for things. What does your mother think about this? Can you afford to buy these things yourself? If you think she's awesome because she pays for everything that makes you come across as shallow and petty. I would rethink both relationships and speak to your mom about how you feel.
