Aha - she's cranky because she's worried about money. She paid the bills tonight, commented about how she's going to have to get used to not having money.
I just said, "yep"
Our son lost a tooth, wrote a letter to the tooth fairy asking for more than he usually gets. This bothered my W a great deal, thinking about money and how things are going to change. Also in this conversation she also commented that the kids are going to get a big dose of reality soon, and that she's not ready to take the tooth fairy away from them.
She brought up the cost of Retro, and to my discredit, I said, you chose to spend money on a lawyer, I'll spend money on this. She said, you spent money on a lawyer too, and I said, well that wasn't my choice.
Then she asked me why I'm being so nasty tonight.
Yeah, now I'm getting pissed off. Why is she doing this??
Anyway, I softened up and listened to her worries. Didn't say much more about it.
Well my MIL will watch the kids for that weekend. I need to register.
