I would love it if she would reciprocate. Like for example volunteer to watch my one or both of my sons as I watch her kids at least once per week.... she's in a tough spot right now with her marriage and I want to be supportive but I also need some support
I'm not keeping score and I'm not looking for a 1 for 1 but I can't just give to everyone else all the time either.
I guess I need to ask her to watch my boys but at the same time I feel like I'm imposing on her if I ask her to help and what if she doesn't really want to help even though she probably would anyways (probably me just projecting my own 'issues' on to her
)
