People should always try to show respect unto others. Less confusion arises.

For the past couple of months, I have been doing a favor, for this older woman and her daughter. Sometimes I will feel that she is taking me for granted. When I lend her something that is mines, she will keep it for hours. Like say for instance, she will come and pick the item up that I have let her borrow. She will come at 10 am and she will be gone for several hours with it. She will not call or come by to let me know that she may be out a little more later. I called her around 5 pm yesterday about what time will she be back at my apartment to bring my item back that belonged to me. She told me that she will be on her way after she gets out of the last store that she was currently in. I really don't like when someone will take advantage of me. Just because I let her borrow something that belongs to me, does not mean that I expect for her to keep it for a long time. She should try to contact me and tell me that she is going to be a little late. She should also ask me if I need my item back anytime soon. When she first called me to ask me if she could come and pick up the item earlier that morning, I told her that it was okay for her to. I just didn't expect for to stay out with my item for long hours. If she had to call me, that would have been different. If she show me more respect, than I would appreciate her doing so. She will take my item and she will have it for hours. She will be at other stores shopping for other things that she may need. I feel that she should do this on her own time. She should use what I have given to her and then bring it back to me. If she has any other things that she needs to take care of, she should do it after wards. So next month, I plan to ask her how long will she be out with what I will let her borrow of mines. And if I need to use my item before her, then she will just have to wait. I don't like it when I let someone use something that belongs to me, and they keep it for hours and they return it back when they want to. I feel that this is not right. I don't have to tell her that she should bring my item back at a reasonable time, she should know better than to. I guess with some people, I will just have to inform them of this. Out of respect for me and my husband, she should not hold onto something that does not belong to her, without asking us, if it is okay if she could keep it for a longer period of time.
