“Am I The Jerk For Refusing To Push My Obese Cousin Around In A Wheelchair For A Day?”

Occasionally our loved and close ones ask for some favors that we’re not equipped to fulfill. Whether it’s a simple question of ability or free time, we’re all bound to say “no”, at least sometimes. Unfortunately, this can lead to unpleasant interactions, even falling-outs if the emotional reaction is strong. It then becomes a predicament to navigate the relationship, not damage it any further, and set expectations in place.

Today’s story covers a difficult situation to navigate and the reaction of a woman who felt she was being shamed, and her cousin who heartfeltly tried to help in her best interest. Sadly, the cousin wasn’t able to fulfill the request of pushing the 600-pound (272kg) woman around in a wheelchair, even if it was only for one day.
