Probably shouldn't have said it....

But I did!

Fitch came to pick up the girls and needed DH to sign a paper for food stamps. Last year she told him it was the last time she would need him to do it and she started trying to say how it would be the last time THIS time. I lost patience and just told him to go ahead and sign it so she could continue to leech of those of us with jobs. She didn't like that, but it felt so good to say! }:)

Well, she got so pissed! She actually went out to her car, drove up to the end of the street, turned around and came back to try to keep justifying her not working. She tried to pull the whole "I'm a stay at home mom and that's my job" (SDs are 12 and 15 and stay at school until 5 or later due to extracurriculars) and "I only have one degree and have been out of the workplace for too long" to which I said, I only have one degree, didn't start work until my kids were 10 and still manage to support myself! That pissed her off too! I have no patience for stupid, lazy people.

He pays her directly, so this keeps the state from coming after him. She could get them anyway, but then CS would have to go through the state system. This keeps the state out of things and she isn't smart enough to ask for any adjustments which the state would do automatically, so we don't say anything.

Oh, but don't you know she's "special". :sick: And she's bringing up her daughters to be the same way. The oldest one actually wanted to get a job and she told her no. :jawdrop:

Thank you! On the good side, I made sure not to say anything where either of the SDs could hear me. They shouldn't have to suffer because their mother is a mooch!

LOL, reminds me of something the skids said once. "BM doesn't work full time because she doesn't have a college degree, she had to stop going to college because she had us." Oh how I wanted to burst that bubble....BM doesn't have a HS diploma or a GED. The last year she actually went to school was 8th grade, after that she was "home schooled". In reality she was running the streets and not doing anything like school work when she turned 14.

BM was working a very part time job up until May, quit to stay home with the skids over the summer. So she is back to thinking that CS is her paycheck and everyone but her has to support her kids.

Im very interested in what these BMs will do once the child support stops and the welfare benefits are reduced? My Bm works 15 hours a week, has ss13, 4 other kids under the age of 6 and a dh that doesn't work. The child support pretty much supports the entire family.

I know. One of her arguments was that she had been out of the workplace too long. Good luck in a few years when you don't have CS and you are in your 50's and trying to explain why you didn't work when your kids were in friggen' HIGH SCHOOL! :O

In all truth, DH is bad about doing stuff if it's not put right in front of him. And yes, he wanted to argue (she's knows exactly what buttons to push), but I went up and just closed the door! }:)
