Really need to vent for a moment....
So I'm living back at home due to the break up with the father.... ironically my brother is also living back at home... now he is a very big guy and he gets very mad at very small stupid things... both my parents and him smoke weed.... now I'm not judging about that. I used to before I found out I was pregnant. But what's bugging me is the fact that nobody is respecting the fact that I'M PREGNANT HERE! I've said the smell makes me sick and even though they smoke outside; the smell still lingers on them and they don't seem to get that.... now I don't know if I'm being stupid here or not but see, he sleeps in the basement and my room keeps randomly smelling like weed.... when my windows are closed.... making me think he's smoking in the basement.... like come on really??
And another thing I need to let out.... I'm stuck doing all the dishes and cleaning... like I understand they work during the week... but I'm exhausted and I have my own stuff to do... I'm fine with helping out with cleaning and stuff.... but when I'm the only one doing it? Am I the only one who finds this just a little unfair???

@greenapplez0901, yes but they can add you and say your renting a room for x amount. such is life not all parents can afford to pay for their adult children, inflation cost of living etc.. your parents could type out a rental agreement for you and that should be sufficient 😉. it really all depends on your situation but I hope it works out for you 😇
Yeah I'm bringing in the dietary form today to get the extra funds for food.... and to get shelter fund I need to be on my parents lease and they don't think the landlord would add me on for some reason so I can't get the full amount of rent... so now I'm stuck doing all the chores...
I also think you are eligible to receive a supplement fund for food while pregnant and breastfeeding... they allocate shelter cost and additional funds.. you need to let them know that your aware of program's as listed above previous comment and if they have any suggestions. I use to work at both offices in Ottawa Catherine St and Constellation near Algonquin but I wasn't a case worker, administration and cheque pick-up in 2010. I know they've changed the program since then but most of it is the same.
@greenapplez0901, @starting_over39 yea im in toronto. And they do that here. Not sure if its the same thing in ottawa.. But im pretty sure u have something close to it like @starting_over39 said.. Call an ask.. And its true about the transitional places.."mothers who are pregant shelters" u will get it faster, cuz ur in distress right? An ur situation. Yea! They probably only give you 376 bit when u have the baby you will get more. Just call in and tell. Them. U really need help
@greenapplez0901, I agree with @party_of4 ... They have a program called Leap I think you fall into the age category and they have homes for young pregnant women to go while waiting for subsidy sorta like a shelter but young pregnant momma's. Also if you go into a transition home/shelter you will obtain your unit quicker, because of your status on application.
the only place I can afford on welfare is subsidized housing and I already registered for it I'm just waiting for them to call saying they got me a place... apartments are expensive here and welfare only gives you 376 for rent...
@greenapplez0901, you realize that welfare can help you get ur own place right? Ask ur worker, tell her you dont feel safe for u an ur baby.. U have to use those exact words. Because of living conditions(smell of weed) they will either get u a place, or make u go apartment hunting. And find a cheap place urself an pay first an last for u and also give u money for food and some essentials. Only once though. And only if u really need it. Call ur worker
and I've mentioned about the smell....my parents do better... they spray and wash their hands... but my brother just has no respect...
Well the only reason the are making me do this is because welfare won't give me the full amount so I can only give them $100.... so they think it's fair to make me do all the dishes and cleaning.... and I've told them I'm tired of having to be home all the time doing all of this when I have stuff of my own I need to do... and my mom's response was "well this is the way it has to be.."
Well, you should really sit you parents down and talk to them about it, if there anything like mine. They would say i do what i want im paying the bills. But you have to be firm an say please respect the fact that im brining another life into this world. An the sent is getting to me, im not saying not to smoke, just please be mindful that right now my body is not tolerant of this smell. As for the dishes. Wash ur own. If u use something.. Wash it, whats not urs leave it there. They will then ask why the fuck r u not washing all. To then you reply politely and ask if u look like a dish washing machine. You pregnant and tired of washing so many dishes, an tht u dont mind washing but no one seems to respect how many dishes are being used. So.. Your stuck to just washing your own. See how they like it.. And yes! To answer ur question. Its very frustrating. Hang in there
that is very unfair they are being very insensitive
