Ignorance and other Nastiness
Oh what a day! We only had one appt today....thank goodness!!! TP is still in a good bit of pain. Went and had the oil changed in the truck(we had an awesome coupon for The Works for 9.95!). Did a little shopping....I got TP a new wallet and a nice leather bound book for journaling. I got myself a duster with a washable head, a new long handled scrub brush for the pans and pots, some pledge wipes, floor cleaner, and multipurpose household cleaner......wow that sounds sad! So I go over to my exs mothers house to drop off money for my daughters dresses(for their Aunts wedding...not sure why I am the one paying for them), but whatever I have the money so no big deal. She asks me what I am getting for my stipend as a VA caregiver. Now a month ago she was asking me some question about the program for a family member of hers. So I oblige and tell her the amount....She gets this nasty look on her face and tells me that I should feel ashamed for the amount I now get in child support from her son AND getting my said amount from the VA for "sitting on my ass". If only this woman knew what I do in my household on a daily basis. As for her son....he is more worried about taking ski trips and expensive weekend getaways with his new wife than seeing his daughters. So yeah I had his child support modified to what it should be at his income level now not what it was 9 years ago when he was an E1 in the army. I am just so astounded that she would say something like that to me....her son was in the service! If anything had happened to him SHE would be the one taking care of him....so would SHE be ashamed of being paid? My goodness! Some people!
