Just a quick update. I took D7 Christmas and clothes shopping with me today. D12 didn't want to go. I got clothes for me and D7. I'd say I picked out some pretty smooth looking stuff. Need to revamp the wardrobe so I started doing just that. D7 needed some stuff so I took care of that. D7 has to get D12 a pair of pajamas for her Christmas present. Everybody drew names and we are going to give each other their pajamas on Friday. The whole family decided this and is doing it to save money and not put anyone on the spot. I didn't inquire with W other than to tell her I took care of it so she doesn't also do it.
Then I had to pay our auto insurance bill. I told W. She wanted to wait until Monday when she could depsosit money into her account. That struck me as odd because her checks get automatically deposited into her account. It also struck me as odd that she didn't have the money to pay her half of the insurance bill. Again, she makes almost twice what I make, and she didn't have the money to pay her half? Something isn't adding up there. I said it is already past due as it was due Thursday. I just went ahead and paid it and said we will work it out on Monday. I didn't hear back from her.
I am taking more of a role in getting things taken care of for my daughters without asking or relying on W. That is a step in the right direction. I really didn't want to do this, but I think I am going to have to separate the accounts. She seems to have plenty of money for her personal life, but none for bills and little for the kids lately. I'm not sure what is going on.
