Supermom and the Brighter Tomorrow

[JennyF]

I think I have a problem. Little miss optimism got a little too big for her britches!!

Money is an issue between H and I. He is paying me enough money to pay the mortgage & day care. I pay the rest on my little maternity pay. There is enough to cover it all plus have a few hundred on top for misc things....clothes for the kids, any extras or entertainment, D's gymnastics, all that stuff.

There is always a month in the year where it is a 5 week month so to speak. Those months always have had for us one extra week of bills. An extra mortgage pmt and an extra day care pmt.
I didn't realize that month was last month. The money has just always been there to cover it.
But now, I'm basically short by exactly that much. PLUS, we were in overdraft by 1300 when he decided to split up all the fincances.
I can account for every penny I've spent and I can also account for every penny he spent of that money. Dumba$$ uses his bank card for everything!
Anyway, so I'm now in overdraft by that total. And it's a lot.
So this should be as simple as H covering right?
Well I haven't told him yet, and he's going to freak. Because he doesn't have the money to cover it and he's going to make me feel like he's carrying me. He's going to imply again that I should go back to work. I shouldn't anticipate but I just know he doesn't have the money anyone so I'm quite scared about the whole thing.
If he doesn't react well, I think I'm going to get something formal drawn up by my lawyer with all the amounts and everything.
I've even kept my grocery receipts to show what I've spent $$ on.

The problem is that H doesn't get the logistics of it. He doesn't understand the concept of the 'extra' week. He's just giving me checks when he gets paid, based on his pay schedule.
NOT based on when those items are paid.

UUUGGH!
Just hung up the phone with him and he is really in denial about this. He is not accepting the reality of what he is doing.
UUUGHH!
