Ok, I have just about had it with my DH. He just bounced the payment for our 2008 Federal Taxes. Yep, DH filed our tax return and then did not transfer the money to cover the electronic payment to the IRS.
So, we got charged by the IRS $35.00 for an overdraft fee. Fortunately the bank transferred the money for us. But sometimes, I could really just kill my H. I told him two days ago to be careful when he filed our return. Does he listen, NO. Grrrr----. To top that off, I had to get his new Medicare card out of his wallet today (he told me where he had put it) for his DR. Tucked behind the Medicare card was 7 twenty dollar bills. Now, I do not have a problem with him having the money, I just hate that he hides money in the same manner as his father. If I ask if he needs any cash, he will always take it. So, I think what he is doing is really sneaky. I don't hide $$, so I expect him not to also. Guess, I am expecting too much. Some habits we learn from our parents are not good and this is one of them.
Thanks for letting me vent. It does help and I know by tomorrow I will find the humor in this, but right now I do not think hiding $$ and bouncing our tax payment is very funny.

When you are young you never look at things like money.
I like to think the good thoughts and hopefully he wasn't hiding it from you but it may be his way of feeling some security--as many men do this.
Hi:
I have never figured out why my DH is so insecure about $$.
i tell ya,it is good seinfeld material...i can just see george costanza or cramer doing just that. i hope that chocolate helped you..hugs mindy

It took about 4 pieces of chocolate and a day with my DGrnS (2yrs) and I was back to normal.
hmm..well that adds insult to injury doesn't? how frustrating!
seems the patterns of dh are well ingrained
my solution would be to handle the taxes myself..which is what I did years ago ..early in our marriage my ex wanted to cheat on the taxes...something I could not do..the end result was that for the rest of our marriage, I did the taxes.
and I do my own now...and

Hi Dutch:
I totally agree with you about me doing the taxes, but for some reason DH just loves doing our taxes.
