Reply To: Caring about other people needs- Where to draw the line

There is nothing bad about doing a chessed. When the chessed causes you a loss of income, or compromises you or your family members in some manner, you have to ask yourself what you are doing. If I like to be mevakeir choli,but am away from home to the extent that my kids and husband are being neglected on a regular basis (occasionally is not so geferlech), there is something very wrong with that picture.
