Tax Credit After Eighteen

This is officially the last time we could claim a child for tax credit. It just keeps getting worse!! I didn't think about this until I did the taxes for 2008, exactly nine hours before the deadline, not knowing whether we owed in or not.

We have no children at home anymore. Is it a blessing or a curse? When it comes time to do the 2009 taxes, why can't we claim the children? We are still paying for them. Every time they need money to pay for the car insurance or when they can't make their rent. I thought if you are supporting them, they are considered a dependent. It just isn't fair.

I can not say I would much rather them be at home because I would be lying. I have dreamed of the day when it would be just my husband and I. Don't get me wrong, I love my children. I think there is too much time with my husband now though. When the children were here and I didn't want to listen to the incessant lecturing, I could just leave the room. Now, I am the only one here and am trapped in a constant lecture. There is no longer an escape. I love my husband bless his heart, he talks way too much. He is like a nagging woman at times. What did I do for Karma to come back on me like this? I have always been a quiet person. I love quiet, oneness, and meditation sometimes.

My husband, bless his heart, thinks of me always. He is really attentive. He sees to my every need. What more can a woman ask for? I am blessed (I think)

Ladies, be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
