When does the milk of human kindness dry up?

Question

I always cook dinner for three, me and my partner and I take one to the old feller across the road. Now he's invited a lady friend to dine with him and expects me to make two meals. Has this gone far enough?

Answer 1

Yeah, stop taking dinners.....and if they say something....just tell them things are changing in your life and you cannot do all of the other things you liked doing

Answer 2

Have you thought that just maybe this is his way of saying..look I know you have been very kind to me, but now I feel that I must start taking things into my own hands.

The old feller across the road may have been loathed to say anything in case of offending you, so he will be thinking that by asking you to make two meals this will be the straw that breaks the camels back so to speak.

Be up front with him and you will see that you can still remain friends.

Been there worn that tee shirt. Best wishes x

Answer 3

Is there a particular reason why you can't? If you can't or are not willing to do this, you should be up front with him and tell him, "Hey, I don't mind giving you a hot meal every once in a while but I don't appreciate being used like a McDonalds when you need a cheap date." Maybe a bit more gentle than that, but the idea is to be honest. He should be ASKING you nicely, not expecting.

Answer 4

Unless he is paying you for the food and cooking you owe him nothing. Maybe his new friend can help him you have done more than your share. Tell him sorry this will be the last meal, please make other arrangements. And do not feel bad he has taken advantage of you by expecting more than what you have done.already, which is generous to a fault

Answer 5

have you ever theory that basically possibly it extremely is his way of exclaiming..seem i understand you have been very sort to me, yet now i think that i could initiate taking issues into my very own palms. The previous feller around the line would have been loathed to declare something in case of offending you, so he would be thinking that with the aid of asking you to make 2 nutrition this may be the straw that breaks the camels back with the objective to speak. Be up front with him and you will see which you likely can stay pals. Been there worn that tee shirt. ultimate needs x

Answer 6

yes and no. is this a trick question..kindness at the level you going is rare in deed, i love the story it was great and you got to this guy and now the guy is being leveraged, do it just to keep and eye on things and make sure this old girl and got property titles and where's his car keys and his money, but i like the story, in a world gone madd, make smaller portions and tell them things aren't what they use to be, your always being more than a good Samaritan cause this is your security level as far as your perimeter of what happening out there.

Answer 7

Yeah I think so. First he should not even expect you to make dinner for him, let along just add a person and expect that too. It's nice to be good to people, but no one should just expect it. Asking would be a different story.

Answer 8

He is just so used to your kindness and has probably told this woman about you and invited her round to show her what a good friend you are. Have a talk to him about it and try to get him to ask before he does something like this again and see what he say to that.

Answer 9

The milk of human kindness dryes up when the milk turns sour and it sounds like it has done just that.
his lady should be able to make meals for the two of them.

Answer 10

Oh wow, yes indeed I would say so, hmmm seems he needs to be told that you are unable to cater for his friend aswell, I mean how else is he gona know, I say start as you mean to go on.
