Feeling so down lately, feel like nothing's going my way😫 I was working and when I stopped I've been told I'm not entitled to maternity pay from DWP so have to wait 2 months for my first payment which is a lousy £270 a month me and a baby are supposed to live on. Just got the keys to a house which is great but it needs EVERYTHING done which I have no money for, there isn't even any carpet in the house and baby's due in less than 3 weeks so won't be in by then😭 and feel like the OH is so distant and uninterested almost like he's trying to avoid me. Everything's happening at once and I'm just a breakdown waiting to happen, emotional wreck!😢
@Lucy jade, no because the job I took on a few months ago was always just temporary I was never going to get maternity from them and was going to get it from DWP but when I finished and went to the job centre I was told they can't pay me it because I was working less than 26weeks. I would've got it if I stayed on benefits or worked over 26 weeks😞 so I got put back on universal credits that won't pay me until 2 months after I put claim in thinking I had all this money saved up from working, they don't understand I didn't have anything saved as I was using it all to buy things for baby and it was weekly pay so disappeared quickly
I thought everyone was entitled to maternity allowance?
@galiceanucamelia, No can't get maternity allowance :/ applied for the maternity grant of £500 but still to hear back if I'm getting it or not. @gbemiabdul aw it's awful isn't it? 6 days, ohh that would hurt much more! I was a couple weeks short, feel like we have enough to be stressing about without this nonsense too x
You just poured out my heart...the story of my life at the moment.I was told i missed maternity pay by 6 days..imagine
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 feel like all you girls on here hate me 😔 so I'm gonna delete this app ✌️
I'm tired of waiting around for these amha housing shit I'm so damn stressed I just want my own place already its almost been a year since these stupid ppl haven't called or said anything about my house tf I feel like going up there and throwing a big ass fit, like I'm going thru so much all I do is hide my feelings and thoughts No not gonna happen anymore I'm tired of leaving voicemails just ugh
Absolutely heartbroken. Last night alot of stuff happen between me and my partner he got physical with me to the point he dragged me across the house and I'm at my mums now safe. I'm just so heart broken and upset I feel sick I can't eat or sleep I never thought this would happen to me I just wanted a family now I will have to raise my baby at my mums. I feel like I've lost everything

So this just happened.... Bear is 5 and a half months old... I'm excited but nervous!!!
