So I mentioned to W this morning that I wanted to set up a joint account with her for all our household expenses.
She said there was no point in setting up a new account. (She still wants access to my account.)
I simply replied that a joint account will be helpful, and we can discuss the details later. I left it at that and left the room.
She's off to work now, so she can stew on that for the day.
Meanwhile S8 is S9 today. W baked his favorite cake and we'll all go out to dinner tonight. D12 is jealous of his gifts, so we're having a little F/D time.
