It seems like the more I do for people, the less they appreciate it and just come to expect me to take care of everything. And this includes family.

The phrase used to be 'do something once for someone it is appreciated, do something for someone a lot it becomes expected'

It can often be more complicated depending on scenario and situation. Your heart is in the right place wanting to help but make sure to take care of yourself as well as it can easily lead to burnout if you take on too much.
