My dad asked for "a little help" with his construction work, and it's became a multi-day job, 10+ hours a day, in 31 C humid weather

I love my parents but why do they do this to me

My favorite memories included working with my dad in a similar way. Miss him a lot, glad he taught me so much and challenged me to develop new skills/strengths. Thanks for helping me remember that ๐Ÿ™‚

I agree, I love spending time with them and helping where it's needed. They just sometimes ask a bit much

If he's not paying you, then you can just not. You can just say you're giving up. Informed consent is an important factor in agreeing to help a family member.

I may curse about the work they give me, but I'll never refuse to help them when they need it
