I have the support of my wonderful husband and parents. My parents were always telling me to do something for my kids instead of for them. Even when they had given me really large amounts of help (money, watching kids, etc.)So usually, I did that.
But, about a year ago, I started opening myself up to anyone who needed help. I gave people text books, photocopied stuff, gave pencils, ran to get medicine for people with headaches, etc. My big gift right now is tutoring a fellow nursing student for free. She wanted to know how much to pay me, and I told her that if it really helped her, to do something large for someone else. It made me feel really good. Way better than getting $200.00 for services rendered.
