I LOVE how you handled yourself! Very reasonable and mature responses.

Thank you for your affirmation of how I have handled things so far.
I so sorry your husband's kindness was taken advantage of. I saw the same thing happen with an uncle was an electrician. People didn't think twice of calling him to replace a ceiling fan, install outdoor lights, etc. They just assumed because they knew him, he should drop everything on HIS day off, and come and do work for them, for free. Of course, my uncle would, because he felt he could help and it was his Christian duty to help someone "in need".
I'm beginning to be gracious, thoughtful people are the rarity and not how the normal human is wired.
