No one appreciates me!!!!!?
Just helped my cousin move into a new apartment. Worked hard too. Did more work than he and his lazy *** baby mother did just trying too show some love to my fam for free. Worked 12 hours with him got every thing unloaded tried to go to sleep. I hear my cousin(who thought I was sleep) cursing my name to his baby mother saying I was a retarded mother upper cause he thought I bought in a bag of paint that had ants crawling out of it and if I had any common sense whatsoever I would of left it outside. Like I knew or seen there were ants in the bag at that time. I left his house without saying anything to anybody and jumped on the metro. This will be the last time I help any body do anything like that!!!!!

I understand your feelings. Perhaps something my wise old mother used to tell me may help you. She used to tell me:
"You need to do the things you do because of the woman YOU are, not because of what THEY are."
Over the years, that advice has helped me grow as a person, rise above much of the pettiness around me, and emerge as a leader in my areas of endeavour. I alone create and maintain my self-image -- and I act according to that self-image, despite the actions or utterances of lesser beings.
If being a person who shows love for your extended family is part of the person you would like to be, (a very good trait) then you can continue to do so and grow in your own self image because the foolish remarks of an immature person in a moment of frustration are meaningless when taken in the context of YOUR CONTROL over your own destiny. I would never let someone else's demeaning remark alter the course of my life.
On the flip side, if you had disposed of the bag because it had ants, he would have moaned about that too. At least this way he gets to decide what happens to his stuff unlike if you threw the paints out instead. Oh, and even if he's family, he owes you a case of beer for the effort.
Did one of them hold a gun to your head or hold your family hostage while you worked?
No one forced you to to it. No one made you do the amount of work you did. Nothing kept you there for 12 hours, except yourself, you could have left at any time.
You did what you did by your own choice.
If they had an issue with the work you did, it's their problem; if they wanted a "professional" job done, they should have hired it done.
There are always going to be stupid people. But thats besides the point. You dont need anone to validate or appreciate you. To want or need appreciation is a weakness.
Ah, one of life's great philosophical debates.
Look, it's all a deal to be made. If, you don't like the terms, then don't do the deal. If you don't like the payment, don't do the deal.
Well, don't let HIM bug you. Just have a good life and ask for stuff up front before you do favors.
We don't do nice things because we expect a reward. the reward is the deed itself.
