Hey,

I got the list of bills to pay from my W last night. It doesn't look good, W was not kidding about not paying bills right now to pay for gifts. I have agreed to this, but it just feels wrong. This is what she has done for years. So the list had a lot of clothes she said for the kids. Just a lot of stores with nothing specific, she gave me no receipts. All I can see is that x amount of money was spent at X store.

I have already mentioned that I am not a fan on how she pays the bills, no need to mention it again right now. I am not going to push this as its all small amounts and I can see she has left out big purchases on the list that she is not asking for my half.

I thought of what I can do about the child benefit that she is dipping into, I can just take half of it. If she refused to stop using the joint account like her own account then I will take half of the benefit. Standing up for what I want and think is right is tiring when W puts up a fight about it every time.

I have to get buying gifts for my IL's and I am making gifts for my Kids.

I also have an interview for a promotion next week I need to get ready for. The kids and I are getting our hair cut next week also (yes the same female barber, I cleared the air with her)Need to get the winter tires on both cars. (I know rules say not to do W car but I drive it sometimes as well)

Well back to my sick kid, looks like he should be better tomorrow as he is better right now.
