bureaucracy gone mad
Jun. 18th, 2008 10:02 pmMTB is good at emotional turmoil, but he has good reason this time.
The school, which we have peacefully spent nearly 10 years paying large sums of money to, recently stopped send MTB copies of the invoices. Then they rang him to ask him to pay the fees he hadn't paid 'cos he didn't know how much he owed.
The first 3 times he politely rang or emailed them asking for a copy of the invoices, they promised to send them. Then they told him they couldn't send them out without my permission. On principle, he's asked me not to give my permission and I respect that.
We're both liable, we both signed the enrolment forms. They asked for both signatures ten years ago when we were together so that they were covered in case we didn't stay together. Perhaps MTB should give them permission to send me the invoices?
It feels a bit sexist, that they're picking on him 'cos I'm the mother and they therefore perceive that I am the person in charge of Sneetch's life. If they only knew! I barely see Sneetch once a week at the moment.
Anyway, I've sent them a narky letter this time, carefully avoiding giving them permission to send MTB the invoices.
