Adding more fuel to the fire

And to add fuel to the fire of receiving that phone call last night, BM sends a "spreadsheet" to DH, something she has kept since they have been divorced of all the fees she has paid for SD.  Things such as medical bills, prescriptions, cell phone bill, school fees etc and they split the bills equally.  They always have, it's in their CO.  SD is on BM's health insurance in December we set up an automatic withdraw from our checking account to send X amount to BM for SD health insurance.  On that spreadsheet she noted that we are shorting her $2.08/month.  Seriously are you that freaking petty?  If we are paying you as much as we are do you really think that we would purposely short you $2.08/month?  We obviously came up with the amount we are paying you somehow, we didn't just make that number up.

Wow. SD not graduating and you have to foot the bill of her supremely bad life choices? No way - time to not pay anything towards someone who has used you and hurt you. Last year, SD now 19 graduated after turning 18. I still remember not being invited to the ceremony, because somehow she didnt have an extra ticket. SO refused to go if I did not go, and then his sister wanted to give me HER ticket because she thought he had to go. All this and I did NOT want to go - was already planning some solid Clove time, and HAPPY that I wasnt expected to show up. Somehow tickets showed up... I took time off work, we got there early, sat for 4 freaking hours in the blazing sun, on hard benches, no water. And then went down after to give congratulations, and flowers and stuffed toy. No thank yous, she took off with her cousins, took the cash given by everyone. And a few months later got a job and moved out! Its been blissful ever since. But this girl treated me horribly, told her sister that "I shouldnt be allowed to exist", called me names, told me I was disgusting, etc.

Yeah, not your problem anymore!!! Not my problem anymore either! She needs to sink or swim on her own. She doesnt bother to show up to jobs? Well then she wont have any money! Without money - no diploma - no chances at better jobs and more money. Still not your problem. Is she living with someone who is supporting her that is not her father or mother? Is your DH sending her money at all?

She's living with a family member now because she said she couldn't live another day under our roof.  I highly doubt that this family member is really supporting her.  Luckily I handle all the finances so I see every penny in and out of our account.   SS was in town a few months back (SS & I have a great relationship) and he said that SD calls him weekly asking for money.  He said he won't give it to her b/c he doesn't want to make a habit of it and for her to expect it.  He also doesn't agree with her life choices therefore he is not giving her money to blow on drugs, beer, cigarettes and tattoos.

So what have you been doing with that extra 2.00$ per month???  Carribean cruises?  LV purses?  Nightly dinners at Per Se?  I mean come on!  Stop shorting BM for your own selfish wants!!
