I am a 30 something adult, my mom passed when i was 12 and my dad is really not a part of my life. I was raised by my grandmother and i love her soooo much. I don't have much immediate family here in the state i live in besides my sister and her children and my uncle who lives with my grandmother. Anyways whenever my grandmother needs something she calls me. When she needs something fixed she calls me no matter what it is. I work 5 days a week im exhausted on the weekend i just want to rest. She calls me early in the morning to go out and run errands to come help her clean up or whatever, if she's not asking me to do something right after i get off work. I have to mange her bills for her the 1st of every month. When i want to just hang out with my boyfriend on the weekend she always wants me to spend time with her instead and i don't want to say no because she's very sensitive. So most of the time i spend a few hours with her just about everyday after work so my weekends can be free with my boyfriend and i to hang out since we really don't spend time together during the weekday, but 9 times out of 10 i always end up at her house doing something. I know my boyfriend is tired of it but he won't say anything. My grandmother is somewhat disable but she does get aroung when she's feeling her best. I feel so guilty about complaining because after all she is my grandmother and i don't know where i would be with out her in my life, but im so tired of always being the only one she calls on. Am I wrong?
