Example: Had trouble starting my car before going shopping. She had told me to call if it wouldn't start after shopping and she would come get me. She needed to be at work and I was to babysit. It wouldn't start, but couldn't see the point in calling her, that wouldn't fix my car. Called the tire store, had them come give me a jump start, went to the tire store and paid for that service, then ran home to pick up the kid so I could go back and get a new battery put in. Tire store said they would credit me for paying for the jump start when I bought the new battery. Done.
Later, when she gets home, we had a conversation about it:
Me: Thought of calling you when my car wouldn't start, but that didn't make any sense, because you wouldn't be able to fix my car, so I called the tire store and had them come give me a jump. They wanted me to go pay for it right away so I had to do that before coming to pick up little one. That's why I couldn't turn the car off. I had to go right back and get a new battery, and they gave me credit for what I had already paid.
Her: They gave you credit for the tow truck?
Me: What tow truck?
Her: The one that towed you back.
Me: I didn't get towed, they gave me a jump start.
Her: Oh, and now you have to go back and get a battery?
Me: No, I already got a battery after I picked up little one.
Her: So now you have to install it?
Me: No, they installed it there.
Her: And they're going to pay you back?
Me: They already gave me credit when I paid for the battery.
Her: But are they going to pay you back for the battery?
Me: Who?
Her: The insurance company from the accident.
Me: That was 2 months ago and the lady just backed into my driver's side door. It had nothing to do with a cell going out in the battery.
Her: Oh, I thought it did. They should pay you back.
I'm at a loss for words. Is she delusional (not being sarcastic). I'm really concerned about her thought process. This is only one example of many, many. Is there anything I can do or suggest??
