115.  One of Rowan's close friends is going through a very trying time. He has just had major surgery and needs a lot of help around the home for the next several months during his recovery. Rowan has been gladly pitching in several times a week with housecleaning, grocery shopping, and laundry duties. But lately the demands have been getting to be a bit more than she can bear. She is feeling over-worked and under-appreciated. As time goes by her friend seems to only become more demanding! How should Rowan address the issue?
She should swallow her feelings of injustice and just do what he demands. He really needs her help after all, and he'd probably do the same for her.
She should just stop helping him.
She should mention to her friend that she is feeling pretty harried trying to take care of two households at once. She should still continue to come by to help out, but ask him to cut her some slack.
She should continue doing the housework, but not as flawlessly as she would do her own...maybe it will save her some energy when it comes time to doing her chores at home.
She should tell her friend about all the chores that have been neglected at her home, explaining that she just can't keep up with his demands. She should emphasize that he can either accept whatever she does manage to do for him, or find someone else.
She should explain that she has her own housekeeping to catch up on, but would like to establish a schedule that works for both of them.
