Hi all, sorry for the later page this week. We had a lot of running around to do with this being the week of my father-in-law’s memorial and a trip this weekend, so my work time’s been a lil bit compressed. Got it done, though, and I’m happy with it, so that’s what matters. 😀
<3 stay safe out there, friends!!

TRANSCRIPT
Panel 1 (Jonathan speaking, looking reassuring)
Jonathan: Everything is fine. We’re fine, babe.
Panel 2 (Imogen leaning over, towards Jonathan)
Imogen: Still… is there something I can help with? Set a reminder, or something? If I–
Jonathan, off-panel: Ginny, we both know you hate this stuff.
Panel 3 (Imogen throwing herself into Jonathan’s arms, hand pressed dramatically to her face)
Imogen: I know! I’m so bad at it!
Jonathan: It’s okay, babe. It’s easier if I handle the budgeting, because I’m the one who makes the money.
Imogen: Thank you for doing that.
Panel 4 (Jonathan shifting over in bed, lifting the blanket for Imogen)
Jonathan: Here, I warmed up your side of the bed.
Imogen: My hero.
I guess in the end she prefers believing he is telling the truth than getting more into what is going on… It is a bit annoying that he keeps treating her like a child though, hope she realizes she is more capable than what he tells her she is
Although she does have her hands full with the kids it is annoying he just does not say at all what is going on
yeah he might as well said” we know you’re no good at this stuff ” like mom was told until i figured out where her money was going …. and it wasn’t to the bills either
Mmmmm…. Financial abuse
Uugh, this turn is so upsetting
She’s the one who most needs access to the money with four kids to feed, clothe and clean and a house to run.
But no, it’s “his”, because she doesn’t “earn” her keep apparently?
He makes me so furious.
I don’t think it’s about “earning her keep,” at all. It used to be a pretty standard way to split up the work. His job is to make money and take care of bills with that money. Her job is to take care of the kids and home.
But you’re right, if he screws up his part it makes it very difficult or even impossible for her to do her part! She has every right to be worried/upset about this and he’s just brushing it off with “oh you just don’t want to look bad.”
