Sure I can and have. My best friend needed help cleaning her ginormous house, way too big. She offered to hem some pants (I can’t sew!) instead of me taking them and paying to have them fixed. (several pairs of pants)
I organized a friend’s home office, he constantly had piles of paperwork and just junk all over, he was considering paying an organizer to do the work for him. In return, he helped my husband strip and refinish the built-in shelves in my home office.
Again…my bf wanted to paint her bedroom and bathroom, in return – they cooked dinner for my family and we helped them out.
Being bought happens all the time – it’s all in how you look at it. For my children or husband, if it was a health issue, I can’t imagine what I wouldn’t do to save their lives.
