Vessira said:What are you talking about? Am I like the ONLY girl who doesn't do stuff like this? Sure I'll ask the boy to pick me up some ice cream on his way over. But I never give him chores. Hell last week I was the one who insisted we do 5 loads of HIS laundry and did all the work. Usually if I ask someone to do something for me, it's bring me food since it's more convenient for them to get it than for me. Of course, I'm lazy naturally and typically don't expect someone to do something I don't want to do myself.
Yes, a give and take based on ability and/or convenience makes perfect sense to me.
What puzzles me to no end are situations like the one I encountered yesterday when I was in a meeting and a woman thought that by smiling and being flirty that I would make a decision that would unduly inconvenience everyone else in the room and benefit only her. She truly believed that accommodating her needs was more important than the needs of everyone else.
I'm hoping he brought you lots of ice cream or did something equally nice to thank you for the laundry, Vessira, that was definitely above and beyond on your part.
