Where's MY Money???

O.k. so you can call this a trivial rant!! Since my husband got injured on the job and with him having to retrain to a job that his work restrictions will allow him to work, we've "put" together with his mom. The place that we live (3 acres)the husband and I do the outside work, my husband has done all the electrical, plumbing and carpentry work on both homes. Anyway, we're kind of like the Waltons we just pitch in together. The MIL and hubby both have nicotine habits. I quit over 3 years ago. They both spend about $100 per month on their habits. I don't have a nicotine habit, so therefore I think I should have as much as the two of them (a piece.) Call me selfish, if you wish, but I think it's only fair that I should have money even though I don't have a nicotine habit. I do a lot of the outside work here and I'm at home while the husband works to check up on the MIL. Sorry about this rant but I think that I should have some "extra" money, since the two of them together spend $200 on tobacco products that we all chip in for, but yet NO money is "chipped" in for me!! ~Peace~ photo courtesy of pixabay

No fair, why should you have to pay for their "bad habits"?

I´d tell them that you have other bad habits that add up to $100 a month. And that you need the money as they need the ciggie money.

And the smokers in smoke-free offices get a 10min smoke break every so often, while the non-smokers get to slave over a hot phone or computer for those same 10minutes... It's Just Not Fair!
