I'm on PA and have an iPhone and am getting an iMac pro next week!

[Anonymous]

Most would jump to the assumption that I am lying or abusing the system. I am not.

I get $300 month in food stamps and my kids are on Medicaid. My parents asked me to keep their dog for a year and of course I said yes so they bought me an iPhone 4S and are buying us a new MacBook pro next week. My dad just took my van and got me all new tires.

I am not abusing or lying I just have amazing parents:-).

I think you mis read she is keeping THEIR dog for a year

Quoting OneToughMami:

Seriously? That is not at ALL being a grown up. Dog owners like you honestly are just the worst.

Quoting Anonymous:

My parents are paying for all of that. Vet visits, food, grooming, etc.

Quoting stephjohn:

Yay for you? I have those things to but, my dh bought them for me. We've never been on pa. Why not just ask your parents for the money instead? How are you going to be able to pay for the dog if it gets sick or something?

[justpeachy71904]

I don't understand. do they know your situation is so bad? And they buy you frivolous gifts vs help you get stable? I just wish people could understand that phones and computers do not help you get back on your feet

Oh but still...she's going to be keeping a dog...what happens when the dog needs something in an emergency? Is she just going to sit and wait for them to give her money?

Maybe they have a credit card on file... some vets will bill you after. Ours does.

You're on PA, clearly you NEED help.  Otherwise you would not be on public assistance.

In other ways? I dont need help in other ways. Or were you assuming I am unemployed and can't pay my bills?

Quoting hotmommytutu:

If they're so amazing why aren't they helping you in others way instead of iphones and laptops?

just asking.......

[OneToughMami]

Hmmm...I should call mine and see if they do it. That would be much more convenient when I'm trying to pay. I swear my dog is so well behaved until it's time to pay then she acts like an ass.
