You're right about Moms/Daughters. My Mom is my best friend as well. She still gets on my nerves occasionally... but it's a minor annoyance. (she treats me like I'm 15 at times) I think she just worries about me too much. She's now 70.... is in Real Estate and runs circles around me! LOL

Yep. My mother wants to teach me how to handle my own finances. Since my husband died, I have been having a bookkeeper in his former business pay all of my bills for me and keep up with the paperwork.

Pretty pitiful when I think that I used to have to do a line by line $1,000,000 budget for the district that I managed and write a business case for it, too.

Since my husband was an accountant, he handled all of the financial matters for us. I did not see any reason to be involved. My motto was, if you have a guard dog, why do the barking yourself? Bad mistake. Who would have thought that he would die so young?
