Ha, I haven't eaten at the house since last week, unless the kids were eating the same meal. Can someone say food taster? Oh, that's not the subject here. Paying the bills, yeah, I pay the bills, and without trying to sound like I'm bragging, most of the time I have credits on accounts. The way I figure it if you make a payment for an account, and it's a few days late, they don't charge a late fee, because there was already a credit balance. Make since?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042120035321046999.post-69772120131633111532008-02-01T21:11:00.000-08:002008-02-01T21:11:00.000-08:00Kathy, that is a huge compliment.I had no idea tha...Kathy, that is a huge compliment.<BR/><BR/>I had no idea that my not paying the bills any more was going to elicit so many comments. <BR/><BR/>I hope I didn't come off as haughty. I was just stating what made me change my mind. I usually NEVER listen to pastors... hee hee, but that time it spoke to me. <BR/>I don't do numbers well, anyway.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534463785605832840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042120035321046999.post-37463842509726331972008-02-01T19:55:00.000-08:002008-02-01T19:55:00.000-08:00I was once paid the highest compliment by Bob abou...I was once paid the highest compliment by Bob about the bills. He had bought me a piece of jewelry with cash that he'd saved up for over a year of not ordering out for lunch during work. I told him that he should be in charge of our savings!He said he probably wouldn't be able to save if he knew how much the bills were and he had know idea how I juggled everything. Then, when I encouraged him to take over the bills and shopping (clothing, supplies, shoes, etc. - he already helps with groceries) he said he'd probably have to quit his job to do it! How sweet is it that he recognized the labor involved???? I'm so lucky and blessed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042120035321046999.post-80291909867532454912008-01-31T16:35:00.000-08:002008-01-31T16:35:00.000-08:00My mom pays the bills too, Almost every woman I kn...My mom pays the bills too, Almost every woman I know pays them... But I gotta say, when I gave them back over to him, something in him changed. He's more Alpha Male now, and I like it! Rest assured I know the man is the Head of the household... but the woman is the neck, and the head can't turn without the neck. :) There is no right or wrong way, just a personal preference. I stillsee every little thing that happens with the account, and since we pay everything electronically, it is just a tap of the finger to pay the bills now.<BR/><BR/>I am mad at him because of something he did, and it is just taking me a while to get over. Jewelry might make me forget... But I'm not sure.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534463785605832840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042120035321046999.post-485416391987049602008-01-31T16:30:00.000-08:002008-01-31T16:30:00.000-08:00I wasn't offended, Bill said he will send everythi...I wasn't offended, Bill said he will send everything out, at one time.

It did me when I heard it... but it is so true! I understand that lots of women do the bills, but quite frankly, it is a thankless job, and our pastor, many years ago said that it just isn't the womans job to worry over bills, that it is HIS responsibility to take care of the family, and what the wife does should be HER decision and she should not be forced to do anything. I ran with that, and handed him the check register and never looked back!!! I hope no one was offended, it just worked for me.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14534463785605832840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042120035321046999.post-49346390173497654162008-01-31T07:45:00.000-08:002008-01-31T07:45:00.000-08:00I'm going to try that"let a amn be a man" and see ...I'm going to try that"let a amn be a man" and see if my Bill will start doing the bills.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00954189566724675397noreply@blogger.com
