🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨The people that work in the food benefits offices have absolutely ZERO respect for those that need a little extra help. I have been waiting all day for my benefits to come in and now that it's almost 1:00pm here I decided to call and see what was going on. After being on hold for 14 minutes, I was finally connected and the woman tells me that I need to send in a bank statement. Now I've ALREADY done this. I sent it in last month with the rest of my paperwork. Well according to this woman I need to send in a more up to date one instead of the March statement I sent her. Well all I can get is the March statement because I don't have a way to get to Louisville until MONDAY. Not only did she tell me this but as I was trying to tell her I was not informed of this necessary paperwork, she continued to interrupt me as I was trying to clarify. I went off. She disconnected the call. I didn't get her name. But now I'm sitting here with NO money for this month, I have half a sample sized can of formula left and my supply is at an ALL TIME LOW. What am I supposed to do? People don't understand how difficult it is being a single mother unable to get a job because I have to stay home with my son (no childcare here in the country). I have absolutely ZERO friends. I stay at home ALL day with the only person to talk to being my son (which I love don't get me wrong but it gets lonely after while). My baby sister (14) comes home at 4 and doesn't talk to me. I'm trying my hardest to stay positive but I'm really stressed out because I don't know what I'm going to do. I hate asking my parents for money because they work really hard for what little they have and their $7 in the bank account won't cover a can of formula.
To all of the single mothers out there. I applaud those of you who can keep face and smile daily. This week has already been really difficult for me. Being a single mother isn't glamorous, it's sure as heck not easy, and when your child's father is a piece of shit that hasn't even bothered asking how his son is doing after two months, emotions take full effect. 😔😭😢😭
@jalensmommy, I don't think they do that in Indiana. At least I haven't received anything on child support. My sons father isn't listed on the birth certificate either so idk. Thanks @maxs_mommy80
I'm sorry girl. I wish I could help :( if you want..call the food assistance back and ask them if you could just give your bank information.. because that's what they did for me when I was pregnant. they just took down my bank, account #, etc..
usually if you get on public assistance (food benefits) they will send you papers for child support and if you don't file they will either take your assistance away or reduce it.
I haven't gotten him a ped out here. So I'd have to go all the way back to Louisville and I'm 2 hours away with a quarter tank of gas to last me the rest of the week.
If I go for child support that means he will get visitation. I don't think it's right for him to get visitation after being out doing his own thing for two months straight without any word. He doesn't deserve to have visitation. I don't really know what I'm going to do. The churches around me @jalensmommy are dinky little churches. They don't do stuff like that. I've already inquired.
have you filed for child support?! see if you have any churches, shelters, or pregnancy centers that get formula donations.
Put him in child support.. But you and your baby will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
TMI Moment: I have yeast infections after all antibiotics they put me on. An it's getting very irritating. My next appointment not till 9/5 and I don't have ride to hospital. Any suggests ?
I need to ask someone this have you literally regret having a child with someone. I love my daughter with all my heart but I really regret ever being with her dad.
okay, hope things get better for you.
