You are doing for the wrong people. Also, you shouldn't do for friends if you want something in return - I mean that in a nice way. Of course, we all expect our friends to help, within reason, when we need it. That said, I always follow these rules when giving (either of my time, money, resources, etc.):
Never do anything that you don't want to do or will resent later.
Never do more than half the work (when giving of any of the above to a friend).
NEVER assume that anyone is helpless unless they're unconcious (sp?).
NEVER loan money to a friend and expect it back (even if you agree that they will pay it back - regardless of what is said, assume it's a gift and you'll be happily surprised if they pay it back - nothing can ruin a friendship faster if they don't and you expected it).
Also, choose friends that are generous of whatever resources they have, too.
These simple rules have helped me a lot.
Good luck!

In times of stress you find out who and where your friends are. Usually you (a person) only has two good friends at any given time.

Because when you help somebody don't look for it to come back.Do it from your heart and Jesus will see to you getting it back.
