BabyDaddie Checks & James

I got in trouble with James last night, over giving the BabyDaddie checks to Virginia to manage.  The message I believe I heard from him last week was that he was on board about it.  However, when I approached him for details, in front of Virginia, he became silent & withdrawn, refusing to discuss the matter further.

I was perplexed.  I was sure he did not have a problem earlier.  Apparently, I was wrong.  He was silent for the rest of the evening.  Fortunately, he came to me this morning & said he was never comfortable with the idea, but because I already mentioned it in front of Virginia, we would come to a compromise.

I have learned to listen more carefully.  Hopefully, he has learned to communicate better.

BabyDaddie Checks

Virginia wants to take over the BabyDaddie checks I receive every month from her father, my ex-husband.  The amount is $922 a month.  Previously she did just that with a fair amount of success.  With the money, she has to pay her rent, food, utilities, clothing, & anything she wants.  I think it's a great way to teach her responsible money practices.  I have to chat with James to make sure we are in a good place for her to take over.  What are your thoughts?
