Today W called to ask what she should put on her W4 form for payroll tax deductions. I used to do the finances almost exclusively. Not reading much into it - maybe a subtle change in W or a trap given that OM (or is it now ex-OM?) is an IRS agent - some of the hostility she's shown in the past I bet has come from his "helpful advice". He was "kind" and I was "mean".
She bitched about how D11 had to sleep on a mattress with the other kids with her legs sticking out while at my brother's place (she was over 1,000 miles away) during the holidays. Typical W! Years of sharp daily jabs and ignorant, stubborn opinions wore me down to where I'd react in annoyance. But now I know to steer clear of these attacks. In recent years she has used D11 to throw extra dirt at me ;-) Any fun ideas to add humor to these situations so W gets diffused without blowing up? Or is this a trait she'll never outgrow?
