Okay so maybe I am overreacting but I am so upset right now at DH. We run the business together 50/50. I will assess late fees or late payment fees when I need to. I feel like it's always me having to do this so I occasionally ask DH to assist so I don't look like the bad guy for enforcing OUR policies.
EVERY SINGLE FREAKING TIME (maybe like 3 times recently) I ask DH to take charge of telling parent about the fee, he caves and doesn't assess it and says don't worry about it. NOW I look like the bad guy because I almost always assess it.
CURRENT SITUATION: I believe dcm is lying about working and she gets state assistance. I haven't been able to prove yet so I haven't said anything. Any who, she supposedly works in the same town I live in which isn't big which she says is 5 MINS away. She always says she'll be here in 10 minutes which ends up being longer but usually picks up right at 4pm (her time) or like 4:02 etc. I assessed a late payment fee last week because her $35 payment was late because she had to wait to get paid (Total BS I know). 2 weeks ago she was late 20 minutes and we let it go because she had been on time and hadn't been late. Today she texts at 330pm she'll be here in 10 minutes. Then at 358 said traffic blah blah. It was 412 when she got here and I ASKED DH did he want me to handle it through text or did he want to do it when she came upstairs. He said he would handle it. 10 seconds before opening the door he said we're doing late fee right, I said yes, FULL $15.
I was getting another dcg ready for dcm at the time so I wasn't near DH and DCM when talking about being late. I ask him what happened and he said he didn't charge because.... and I had to go because it seriously makes me so mad I am always the "bad guy" and my DH will be seen as more laid back, etc.
I know this is something I have to discuss with him but I needed to blow steam off without knocking him out (kidding), and this is the best way I know how.
Anywho, if you've reached this far, Bless your heart. Thanks
