Hey Vanessa!

You still out there, lurking in the shadows? If so, can you pass along a message to your husband?

So your almighty DVM self is gonna fuss at me about expecting you to pay for the girls soccer (that YOU wanted them signed up for, so that they would be "active" and "socialized") because it stresses your budget?! That big ole vet salary has you on a really tight budget if you can afford to take the girls to NC and NY but can't afford a measly $75.00 for sports? On top of that your going to point out that you can only do so much to pay for their college and want to know when I'm gonna contribute $ to the fund you set up and I have no access to?

May I remind you why we are even in this position in the first place?

I'm sure it has NOTHING to do with the fact that you just spent a good chunk of cash on a fancy camper for your princess of a wife...funny thing, your old wife didn't have any problems sleeping in a tent.

Before you have the gall to tell me I am not contributing...please take a moment to use that mass of cells located in your skull to consider that just maybe I am "contributing"...plenty! You know, because I do the hard work, putting in the actual hours to make sure they are prepared for school, getting to school, making sure their homework is finished, dealing with school stress, teachers and also doing extra stuff outside of school because the public school is so limiting.

I guess all that pales in comparison to your contribution of putting aside bit of cash in an big fancy account to let it accumulate (and be a tax deduction). I swear you must think I am a complete moron.

How dare you speak down to me like that!?!?!?!?!? I might have put up with that horse manure when I was married to you...but I'm not married to you anymore and therefore no longer your doormat. You have a new wife, go $#@* on her!
