One difference for sure Choc, BB wants a Hummer, not a BMW.
Another difference is I offered to buy BB a older Honda CRV and she said she wanted one with (long laundry list and 2007) so I said she better get a paper route to pay for it.
Yea, I am cheap. How about us two doing lunch at Costco? I will pay. Quarter pound Kosher hot dog and drink. Only $1.50 each.
About Mrs. Choc's BMW, Gee I liked NOP's “lose it” but never did anything like that before. I did the I will look with you up to this amount, but any more money for a car is going to come from her working more hours. BB only wanted to work ˝ time, so she never got her dream ride. Just as well, she/we only drive her car 4K a year. Depreciation is her biggest expense, that and tires that rot from the sun shining on them.
What I would do is let your W (S) know finances are not so great and her acting out is mucking up your ability to be the pack leader/head of the household, ASAP.
If she mends her ways, maybe that will register in her mind that she needs to get off her pedestal/high horse and do some grunt work, like you are doing.
About “you” messing up D18 graduation, just anger from Mrs. Choc being exposed.
WTG Choc. I am impressed with all you are doing and keeping under control.
