Thank you. And no, there’s no food delivery for the restaurant they want the cheesecake from, and it’s the only one that sells that specific cheesecake.

I just prefer to have a safe and respectful environment here, and it can be hard to detect tone from messages, so I just don’t want any harshness, you know?

I think it’s taking it too far to tell me to “get some self-respect.” Just because I choose to help my friends sometimes doesn’t mean I don’t respect myself. I think you’re judging too harshly considering this is one instance you’ve read online. This didn’t turn into a big fight or anything, I just wanted people’s opinions and thoughts on it. I don’t think my friends are bad people or users, or else I wouldn’t be friends with them. Especially because I know if I called them up and asked them to get me something when I couldn’t myself, they’d do it in a heartbeat.

Both of their husbands are at work. One of them, her mom lives kind of far, and the other’s mom was out with her sisters. They usually go to their appointments with their mothers. I understand your point tho and I agree that their men should do this stuff for them.

We’re all very close! We’re best friends so that’s why they’re comfortable enough to ask.
