BM's constant irrelevant questions to FDH
It just bugs me that BM can't figure things out for herself. So she texted FDH a few weeks ago asking about who gets to claim SD on their taxes this year... We did last year so she gets it this year. And thats what FDH told her. Her next question, how do I claim her if I haven't worked all year, and went to school? (Granted her 'school' was a 3 month course to get a certificate... Which she still has yet to grt a job for... She got thecertificate in SSeptember.)
I told FDH that she can figure it out herself. But he had already told her he would try to look into it. But he hasn't found the time.
She texts him again tonight asking how to claim SD... I told him to tell her to call H&Rblock or someone who does taxes and ask them. Which FDH says no, he wants to be polite, and not cause problems... I don't see it as causing problems... I see it as giving BM the ability to help herself, rather than running to FDH when she can't figure something out.
I guess I'm just frustrated that BM thinks she still needs FDH for things AND FDH just lays out the red carpet for her. Gah!
Even better .. ever heard of
Even better .. ever heard of "let me google that for you"?

Yes! I get so agrivated
Yes! I get so agrivated (excuse spelling) when she texts or calls him about stupid things she could figure out!! Its like come on lady, you just as many resources as we do... Utilize them!!
I just get sick of it!!
I understand that FDH has a
I understand that FDH has a majority to play to appeasing BM. but none the less I don't understand how she can still be so dependent on him, especially when she has a fiancé she could ask these questions to.
I get that FDH is just enabeling her, and I believe that is why I get so damn frustrated.
When DH would do this to me
When DH would do this to me (ask me BM's question so I'd give him the answer, then he'd turn around and give her the answer)... I'd give him slightly erroneous information. I knew the RIGHT answer, but if BOTH of them are going to be too lazy to research it themselves, that's their tough luck.
I just keep telling myself that when the Zombie Apocalypse comes, these helpless souls will be the first to go.
What he should of said is "hm
What he should of said is "hm idk, you probably can't - I guess I'll just claim her."
bet her ass woulda went & asked a tax professional ASAP & been texting him about being a liar & trying to steal her money. LOL
That FDH takes these calls
That FDH takes these calls and texts from his XW tells me that he has issues. I would not tolerate my spouse acting as a resource to her X. To the kid, yes. To the X, no. I get cranky when she does taxes as a favor for friends and family who then get lippy with her about hurrying up because they want to file and bitch that the advice she is giving is not what they want to hear. My DW is a CPA and she does taxes for friends and family for free. IMHO their choice is to STFU and say thankyou or pay.
Morons like your FDH's XW will not launch as long as people keep coming to their aid. Time for DH to cut his X loose IMHO or your marriage will never be free of her.
I would give FDH the message that the only response to this stupid XW question is - http://www.hrblock.com/
This is a 'not my problem' topic that your FDH needs to man up on IMHO.
It amazes me that well in to the information instantly at the fingertips Google-it age that people can't figure shit out for themselves.
I 100% agree with you Rags.
I 100% agree with you Rags. FDH gets upset when BM texts or calls for nonSD related issues, and I'm getting tired of telling him that if he didn't jump when she says jump she's going to keep doing it... It bothers me that he is still her go to when she's too lazy to do anything, and HE ALLOWS it!
