i try not to get invilved an she seems to think me and her should be friens because our kids are in the same class
my mother has throat cancer and it took her over a year to get ssi and me and my husband still help her(she has 2 minor children and is single) the guy tried to get my husband to hire him under the table so yes they do make it my bussiness.
I also loaned her money once to get medicine for her little boy then saw her shopping at jc penney that same day so please dont rage on me for being mad

and NO i am not jealous but yes i do feel used, bc i always wanted to help people and even more when they have kids they dont pay their bills until they get shut off but they will still choose to not sell anything so that ishow they make it. they went to court and they won because they wouldnt take it from his ssi ( she told me this and laughed)
they know how to work and why she parks in the handi cap parking is still stupid that is for people who need it i see older people that could use that spot have to part at the end and the torks me

There is not enough money in SSI and disability for a family of 4 to live off. My friend makes about 600/mon in FL.
So you are leaving out some facts here.

Yes, that's extremely bothersome! I love that someone told you to stop throwing hissy fits and it's not your business. I consider anything public and anything funded by my tax money, my business. I feel that people like that answerer are probably partly to blame for public services being taken advantage of -- if people don't stand up to say this isn't right, then it continues unchecked.
If I had enough facts to have this stink badly enough, I wouldn't hesitate to call it in the local welfare office to say you think there is something awry.
Using welfare to stay home with your kids is a farce. If you want to stay home with your kids until they're in school then you should be sure that your husband can afford to support everyone during that time.
I fully believe in welfare and similar public services as a way to help someone who is in a rough period. Or a lot of time, a person was brought up in a situation where taking advantage of free whatever was a way of living and they might need their own assistance while they set their lives straight and try to better themselves to become a productive member of society.
But too many people use welfare as income instead of getting a job and that's where it fails.
I worked in an apt. complex that has 20% section 8 housing. There was a woman with one child, who went to the same college as I did. Finished her bachelors degree and decided she wanted a masters...all on the state's dime, without any student loans. And because I chose to NOT have a child when I was 14, I'm still paying student loans for a bachelors years later.
So that sort of thing is definitely disturbing to me. I'll admit I'm a little policewoman at heart and if I had enough info, I'd be trying to alert people to this family taking advantage but that's just me.
And it's not pouting or a hissy fit... it's feeling like you're doing your best to be productive and pay taxes, etc. and meanwhile just because someone knows how to work the system, they take advantage of it and have a much easier road than you.
Bottom line is it sucks but there's not much that can be done. I guess the best thing to take away from this is that you can rest your head on your pillow at night knowing that you have contributed far more to society than you have taken away.

These people are social parasites. I'd love to stay home with my two kids as well, but I work a full time job so we don't have to go on welfare. I feel that since I'm able to support us, I should. No one has the right to leech off government funding just because they don't feel like working. My friend was on welfare for a while, and while there are procedures in place to try to weed out the lazy and those who don't need it, it is possible to get around them. If you seriously think this is a case of welfare fraud (meaning that you think all or part of what they are claiming to get welfare is untrue), call your local welfare office and file a complaint-tell them that you suspect fraud. You can request to remain anonymous, and there will be a thorough investigation into these people. I would also contact any agencies that are helping these people and relay your suspicions.

We have a lot of people around here like that, too. Sad.......... I work hard, love my career, and am proud of the fact that I've gotten where I am because of me, not because of anyone else. I miss my daughter, too, when I'm working, but she's growing up to be a wonderful individual, with a great attitude, morals, and work ethic. SSI and disability should be for those that really need it. I have anxiety, I take meds and see a therapist. I also could be on SSI for an organ transplant that I had 17 years ago, but chose the more noble route. I'm perfectly capable of working and being a productive member of society, and am looking forward to doing so for many more years! I like my life, and know that without being productive, I wouldn't be able to show horses, take my family on wonderful trips, and just enjoy being with my husband and daughter.

I don't think you really can do much about it and it isn't worth you worrying about. If they got handicapped tickets there must be some valid ( unknown reason by you) that they have them.
It is not right if anyone takes advantage of the system though but that responsibility lies with the system whether right or wrong.
Regarding the Christmas tree issue, you can always have a discussion with her and tell her how you feel about it. Don't let her behaviour make you mad since this will only make you feel mad and upset..
Regarding her using you-the fault lies with yourself as you allow her to do that. You can stop it anytime. I get the impression you don't like her much so try to keep your distance from them and you may find the atmosphere more calmer for you.

, hi, I am handicapped myself, and if parking is available that isn't further than I can walk I use it, and try to save the handicapped parking for those who may need to have a large spot for their wheelchair, so I also get upset when I know of people that get handicap permits illegally. I've known of people to get them on the black market and from friends or relatives. I was a single mother for many years and struggled to buy just a few inexpensive gifts for my children. My children were very grateful for what they got, and to this day are appreciative and compassionate as a result of it. I'm proud that the only time I requested gifts was right after we lost everything in a fire.( I couldn't afford renters insurance.) Even though many groups offered to give gifts, I felt they should go to children who might otherwise not get any gifts. I also know of many people just like those people. I live in a very low income community so it is easier for me to help others, by knowing personally what their situation is. Often times without identifying myself. I don't need a pat on the back, helping is gratifying enough for me. My children have never even known a thanksgiving that didn't include guest who might otherwise have been alone, without a feast. Please never give up helping others, I don't know what I would have done without the generosity of others in my time of need. , Jackie

And if a handicapped guy or woman have been ideal in the back of, the place would he/she have parked? Sorry, she occupied the area, which she had no ideal to do. No excuses allowed, and have faith me, the courtroom has heard all of them. it rather is a valid value ticket and she or he would be in a position to could pay it. She could have stopped extra beneficial away, like different in a position-bodied human beings do, and the lot of you could have walked the extra beneficial few yards. And if there have been no different parking spots, which frequently in basic terms happens at Christmas, she would have dropped you off on the realm highway, or at a loading zone, I guess there became a sort of.

Hi. You answered my question about "the job" situation. I thank you for your answer. It made me feel a lot better. You said to check out your questions, so I did. YES this pisses me off royally!!! Why do people do that? You know what? Don't think that they are really living a free lifestyle. There is a thing called Karma. It WILL come back around at them. Maybe youwill not ever see it happen, but it will eventually happen. People like that always try to screw the pooch, but the pooch will bite them in the *** sooner or later!!!!!!

yes, I take my Mum shopping she doesn't have a permit for the handicap parking so I try and bring the car over to the loading and unloading space.....and guess what there is always some guy.... and it usually is a guy who feels he can park in this sport and go shopping!!!
Welfare should put a roof over people's heads, food on the table and clothes...and no extras
Has taken me 20 years to put together a home, and still not finished, yet those on welfare get new sofas, beds, tvs etc!

I agree with you to a degree. One of my biggest pet peaves is normal people parking in handicap spaces. My ex husband has a stolen handicap mirror hanger. I have been tempted to report him but I don't. I would like to catch him parking one day with it and then call the police to see if they would send someone over to give him a ticket! I would laugh! I know that is mean of me. I often see spry young people park in handicap spaces and want to call the police but little do we know that now there are more and more cameras taking pictures of things like that and mailing people tickets!!!!! I got one in the mail one day with pictures of me turning right on red before 7 pm. I was freaking out! I couldn't believe how petty they were. It was 6:45pm!!!!!!! So, I do not fret over wrong doers and don't you either. Remember that every dog has his day and vengence is the Lords so He will repay! God bless you.
