I stood my ground and told her, "make no mistake, I'm not penny pinching, we had an agreement and I'm gonna follow it. No more, no less. I plan on helping SS as best I can, but I need to balance taking care of him and myself."

"ok. I get it." Woman of few words when she's mad.

I didn't even bring up the fact she's not paying her share of next months bills even though she agreed to that. Not even going there, that I can do without. Pinching pennies indeed.
