I hate having a flip phone. I need to leave my parents house. But idk what shelter to go to with my son. I need to find…

If you’re living under their roof and they are the ones providing you with free housing, food, etc...having a phone is not a priority. Becoming independent and self supporting should be the the priority for you and your child.

How old are you? I totally get why you're upset but you're living under their roof and a phone isn't a reason to leave. You have a child and if you go running off and not being able to provide for him it could get ugly.

@angelsmommy25 but you need to also treat yourself like a grown ass woman as well😘

@babyttsmommy ur so right I wish they would

You are a grown ass woman😙❤👌its time for your parents to start treatn u like it @angelsmommy25

@noahs.mommy I will

@angelsmommy25, you said you get cash aid. You get free childcare you can talk to your worker about it and get your son a babysitter find a job and move out rather than going to a shelter. A shelter isn’t your last resort and it would look bad on you as a parent going to a shelter just so you can have the phon you want. So talk to your worker about child care and start lookyfor jobs mama

@kambam I know but my parents will take the phone away

@roguemommyofjx3 I'm gonna get a new phone when Im able to get my own phone

there's a lot of places you can get pay as you go service. If you go to Wal-Mart you can get pretty much whatever phone you want and pay monthly

@roguemommyofjx3 that the one I wanna get

@noahs.mommy i should of done that

@kambam I know but I feel like I'm in jail here. They control my life. I'm 25 gonna b 26 on September. I wish their was someone that can talk with them so I can go buy my own phone

@angelsmommy25, I would have called the cops on my mom 😂 no one can take things from you that you pay for. It’s your possession your property that’s stealing.

They also have $50 phones at metro.

You can take that phone and go to metro pcs I believe and get a plan its not a contract place.

@noahs.mommy I was paying a phone in September with the EBT money I get every month n they took the phone from me

I agree with @kambam,

@angelsmommy25, they cannot take anything away from you that you own and pay for that’s technically stealing

@angelsmommy25, then go into at&t say you want off the plan your on then go to metro and start your own plan

@roguemommyofjx3 yes

@noahs.mommy att but I want metro pcs

@angelsmommy25 is the government phone a smart phone?

@angelsmommy25, who is your guys phone provider?

@roguemommyofjx3 I'm not even allowed to use the laptop. They have it hidden from me

@roguemommyofjx3 no I'm using this government phone I'm hiding from them n I can only use it on wifi

@noahs.mommy it doesn't work on computers.

@noahs.mommy how do I do that. N if they find out I did that they'll flip on me

@roguemommyofjx3, right? I don’t think you can go on a computer. Unless she’s using a different device off WiFi

@angelsmommy25, you can go into the providers store and take yourself off and onto your own

So how do you use the app? You can download apps on flip phones now?

@noahs.mommy yes which sucks that's why I don't wanna b in their phone plan. They won't let me go to another company to get my own phone so they can control who I can talk to n see my texts n phone calls I make

Are you on their phone plan?
