 this is my fb rant for tonight. this about my aunt who keeps putting people on welfare down. im on welfare and she knows it. she brags that her kids joined the military and went to college and never got had to go on welfare. now mind you her dd and son in law with a baby live with her well the finish college. with out her they would be on welfare. im just tired of it. she know i dont have a support system so therefore i cant get a job to get off welfare. i just wanna scream at her and tell her to stfu already! but hears the rant

im so sick of people opions about people on welfare. im a person on welfare. so the govt helps me put food on the table cause the work force around here sucks and no wants to pay my hubby who's a damn good work what he is truley worth. so what the govt gives me medical assistance.  do you even realize the hoops i have to jump through every month just so my kids can go to a good dr and not to a bunch of low life drs who dont know their a$$ from the hole in the ground? yes i realize world where you live life would consist of school colleague career and then family and oh dont forget about the affordable day care that would have to be open 24/7 365 days a year that is needed for all of that, but you know and i know life isnt perfect. life is messy i know first and and when life gets messy welfare helps out during the hard times, and of course like always there are a few who take advantage of the welfare system, but dont group people like me who wanna go to college and get a job with them.

It doesn't matter what people have to say about welfare people.  You know who you are, and you know if you're taking advantage of the system or not.  So you are the one who has to decide if you can lift your head up high, or if you should be ashamed.  If you are hard working people who have fallen on hard times, then that is what welfare is for.  If you are making stupid decisions and expect others to pay for that, then that is not what welfare is for.  Your aunt may be a thoughtless, insensitive person, and if that's the case, then I would straight up call her on it.  However, many people do take advantage of welfare.  They make it a lifestyle.  They continue to have children they can't afford and then expect society to care for them.  So, unfortunately, people are gonna say things.  That's the way it is.  However, if your conscience is clear, then you don't need to take that personally.

So...you want to go to college..what are you doing to accomplish that desire. I know the system has aids to help people get a higher education because I used those aids.

Can't find a job that pays what one is deserved is just a nice way of saying I'm to lazy to work so I won't.

People are allow to feel how they feel don't like it get over it. You seem to make a lot of excuses and play the victim in this post.

I'm sorry you are apparently upset... but perhaps if you could spell, articulate a thought, and use proper punctuation I might feel greater sympathy for you. As of yet, I do not.

Agree. You probably qualify for vouchers for daycare. Put your kids in daycare and get a job.

i want to go to college but the problem here is there are no day cares near the collegs i want to go to and my oldest is in school. i have zero support out side my dh. my dh works and he bust his a$$ but hes not getting the hours cause the guys from down state are getting them all and when i say hes a damn good work im talking about a man who climbs into a metal fracking tank which is basically a conatiner and works 10hrs straight with and only taking 2 water breaks in 100 degree weather. he makes himself sick and what does he get nothing. he sticks the job out cause there is nothing here for now its the best thing for our family. im trying to find a part time job but employers around hear want 2nd and 3rd shift people and i dont have anyone who can watch my kids for me. and dont even say dh can watch him cause with his line of work he has to avaibale 24/7 and drop what he is doing to go in or else hes fired.

Holy guacomole run on sentences! Really OP if you want to better your life and not be on the food stamps,  spend your time doing something productive rather than defending your use of the food stamps.

I tend to not have much sympathy for people who have every excuse under the sun. I was on welfare for 13 months. I have been gainfully employed by the same company for 4 years. I make in a week what I made in a month in welfare. I pulled up my big girl panties and did what I had to do.

I know too many people who abuse the system and have used it for years. There should be a cap- 5 years is PLENTY.

and of course lets the grammar Nazi have their say. i dont care if i dont use punctuations as  long as you can read you can figure it out.
