Think about this and you can figure it out. An idiom seems to mean one thing but actually means another. Does "with regard" mean just what it seems to? Yes, it does. Therefore, this phrase is not an idiomatic expression.
This is slang - it means your spouse.
It means that it is extremely easy.
This mean someone is pretending to have good intentions, but in fact, it's just the opposite.

Force someone to do something

It can mean that something is difficult or that a person is stubborn.

The expression is not idiomatic. It means exactly what it says. To be sent on ( or for) errands means to be out on a shopping trip, or such like, for someone. Mother sent me on errands to the grocery store and the dry cleaners.
