Chapter 4 - Acting As If

[bigybiz]

Well roller coaster ride continues.

Yesterday, W ask if we should file joint tax returns this year. I told her she should as her accountant. She then said she did not have one and we should file them jointly. I was confused. I told her OK.

I'll look into what is best for me - but it seemed odd that she did not want to take the next step towards D. Not mind reading, not expecting anything - it may be cake eating.

As I said, I was confused.

Part II

A six weeks ago W and I discussed S11 changing schools (we are both unhappy with the current school). We split the job in two. I researched the possible schools W was to contact S11's current school to find out about the transfer.

I did my part, informed her and left it. When W brought up the taxes and that topic was over - I asked her about what information she had from the school. W went on to say she has been busy, etc etc - then asked me to contact the school as I walk S11 to school everyday.

I said No. She has the relationship with the school office and she said she would do it. So I've left it. I'm guessing that she won't do anything about it.

If I take over and arrange for the transfer, I'm letting her off the hook and will probably feed the I'm controlling, etc narrative.

If I don't take over - S11 will languish at the current school.

The saga continues.
