Is it really MY fault?

She probably won't kick her post today.  It's the first of the month.  Time to shop and replace the weed.

That's a fine parent right there.   

Probably a good call there.  It's payday.

[shadeaux]

The biggest problem with DUmmies is they think they are too educated to do real work.  Nothing is below you if it keeps you fed and housed.  Especially if you have kids.

I could walk outside of my house right now and make money without leaving the neighborhood.  And I'm not talking hooking.   

It kills me knowing my husband not only worked two jobs back in the day but now works all over the place to keep us taken care of while she sits home smoking dope drinking wine and has the nerve to say she's not getting her fair share.

BULL****

My sympathy ran out when the tax man took enough from us to keep someone else in comfort, for free.  And that bonus my husband gets for a job well done gets eaten too. THAT AIN'T FAIR. 

[jtyangel]

Someone offers a solution;

But that shit ain't gonna fly;

Now she says they've moved EVERY year since fleeing the ex .... and they have been in this home for 4 years so let's look at something;

Ok, so that was less than 6 years ago and they've been in this home for 4 years yet they moved EVERY single year since fleeing the ex ...

 

Life must be horrible. 

KC

I read that differently, Tex. I read it as they had moved every year UNTIL they lived in the house they are in currently for 4 years--so 3 years of moving and 4 years at this house--04 plus 7=11(current year). All that said, she doesn't say whether those 3 years were spent in the same neighborhood. For me, when I divorced, the important thing was to keep the kids in the same schools, not the same house.  But yeah, 7 years out from this, you bet I don't want the government to be making my decisions for me. I plan to be fully self-sufficient, even if I never marry again or any of that, I want to be able to take care of myself and my children/grandchildren on my own if necessary.

So I have been sitting here this morning and reading this for the very first time.   I am literally dick (DAMN YOU AUTOCORRECT!!!! HAHA)   to my stomach.   How many people in this country receive this type of handout?  The amount she is given by the taxpayers in the amount of a housing allowance is nearly as much as our house payment.  WTF?  

And she has a dog groomer AND a hairdresser?  

Our country has certainlyngone to shit, hasn't it?  I know people like to play the "but republicans do it too" game but it is the liberal policies pushed by liberal wingnuts in this country that have gotten us here and they aren't content.  They want more!!!!!!

It maybe time to burn one of my moles ( who already had a comment deleted through an alert by Nadin) and send this loser a PM or post in that thread.  

Oh, my blood is boiling.      

[Traveshamockery]

This is a post of hers from earlier in August.  Someone needs to report this person.  She's a leech on society and an irresponsible parent.  This is just one clue but I'm sure there are many more, other than the several listed above.

I am so embarassed
   
went to a Bday BBq for my new boss yesterday.... it was nice, and I stayed too late... and drank too much...

My babysitter called the boss house because i took so long to get home, and when i rolled up i was wasted and should NOT have been driving.
I don't even remember the babysitter's mom picking her up...

oh geez! so i was drinking margaritas, like lemonade...it was hot i was thirsty and i totally forgot the tequiila factor until it was too late. and that stupid cognitive ability was gone so i didn't stop when i should have had dinner instead.
It wasn't till this morning that i realized that i couldn't remember getting home and pieces of the evening after that...gawd, did i make a fool of myself at the party? dread, embarassment and more dread

worrying about going to work tomorrow, my boss is gonna ask me if i was okay, and probably give me a lecture about driving drunk.

i know, i know, it was wrong, bad and stupid! I just don't know where my common sense went...well, i guess i do, i threw it in the blender with the margaritas! shit! I so rarely go out and get to be with grownups, that i overcompensate and get myself in trouble....

*sigh* no amount of penance can help, the damage is done, and now more than one person probably thinks i am a lush...

Your reading of it may be correct but even at that I wouldn't take a comment like "EVERY single year ..." seriously on a move a year for 3 years.  Hell I've done that on my own.

This is exactly what happens when you give someone something.  They want more and they want less.  More house, less work in having said house.

This chick is pissed because she is going to have to downsize to a smaller home that she doesn't have to pay for.  It pisses me off.  If she doesn't need the larger home then she shouldn't expect the tax payers to shell out for the larger home just because it is more 'convenient' for her.

I have a "dog groomer" and a "hairdresser" too.  Her name is Scoobie.

No, you dumbass skank, they KNOW you're a lush if you drink until you black out.

And you don't have money for rent but you do to go out and party?

I'm with you...she wants us to pay for her convenience. She has one less person in her household and wants the same size house. And like trav, what she's alloted to begin with was about the same as my old mortgage. I pay less then that in rent now with NO taxpayer help and we had to give a bedroom up---*gasp*!!! Seriously...come on now!

[shadeaux]

Getting sloppy drunk at the boss's house is not the way to get promoted or keep your job.  Who wants to bet she got all flirty there too ?

Driving drunk ?  Another parental fail.

I would never post the things she did for public eyes.  She's gotta be stupid.

dick.  BWAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!  Silly Trav.

31. you don't get it 

it's about stability, and the teen is out of the picture now so that's a moot point to argue.(though 'talking to the teen' was never an option either)

Uh, what?  Wait a minute, you preach non-stop about "stability" and taking some kind of control over your son "was never an option"?

Really?!?

Prison and juvie centers are slammed full of lovely little gems like your eldest dumpling, retard.  Hope it was worth it to frig him and your youngest two over because you're a train wreck.

The house is someplace we have been for 4 years after moving EVERY year since we have been free from the ex...that isn't healthy for them emotionally, it has been a HUGE struggle. No, I will find a way to make another $300-500 a month to stay here, even if it means ...well, we won't go there.

So, you have had to move a total of 4 times in 7 years while 4 of those years you have been in one place.  Oh, the horror!

 

If you were so worried about "healthy" for your children, you could have really struggled and dug yourself out of the hole you ended up being at the bottom of and, maybe, put the friggin' dope down.  Been a, you know, inspiration for your children.

Instead you lived with your hand out and complained it was never good enough.  Yeah, real good example, "mom".

Hospital Jobs: there is ONE in town and it is not hiring, it's laying off. So is the City for that matter, it ain't pretty.

Damn, that's horrible.  How about McDonalds?  Hardees?  Home Depot?  Lowes?  How're they doing?

ANY job I go for, even an executive secretary position...like the P/T one i have now with a prominent non profit, pays $10/hr, that's it. No more if yuou [sic] have decades of experience, or great skills... just $10...some even as low as $8.50

Ah, I see.  Not worth your time since they aren't willing to pay you an executive level salary, got it.   

So I am back to doing what I know

Mooching, getting high, bitching on DU.....

anything i do will require more than 4 hours of work ($40) in afterschool care.

so ya, thanks but no thanks

Well, looter, it's your call.  Don't whine about how bad the shit tastes as your head goes under.

[dandi]

my mom made a good point, she has watched me struggle through this system and bullshit since i was 22, and she said.."you always have this happen, you start getting ahead and feeling good about yourself, and they hamstring you for it." this time, she said, don't let them stop me, don't give up.

How far "ahead" can you be getting if a change of a couple of hundred bucks a month will make or break you? My thought is that "getting ahead" for this DUmmy means getting more government assistance rather than achieving anything on a personal level.

tired of having my earned income credit TAKEN to pay for student loans on and education that is null & void

That's okay, sweetie. That's MY tax money paying for those loans, since the EIC money was never "yours" to begin with and is simply a way to transfer wealth.

You're welcome.

Reading her posts from the past through now reveals an awful lot about her and what's important to her.  She uses her children as human shields to cover for her irresponsibility.

BULL****

My sympathy ran out when the tax man took enough from us to keep someone else in comfort, for free.  And that bonus my husband gets for a job well done gets eaten too. THAT AIN'T FAIR.  

I hate to admit this but my brother (God rest his soul) thought he was too good to take any job that was not in his field, not just his field but the level he had reached. He was unemployed for a couple years after being fired from his job at Oracle.  He wouldn't accept a job that was beneath him. He was on the verge of losing his house, had spent all his savings and 401k. He died feeling desperate and like a loser (he didn't know he had gotten a job he so desperately wanted, they called the day after he died).

He was brilliant, literally too smart for his own good. Skipped 3rd grade, received a full scholarship because he was so smart. Decided he wanted to live in New York so he moved there, not having a job. Lived at the YMCA for a couple weeks, got a job programming for Chase Manhattan bank. Got an apartment and eventually got a second job teaching programming during the evening at NYU. Then he got a new job at Oracle and moved to MN. Bought a brand new house, had savings and money in his 401k.  Then he married his drug pusher DUER type wife, lost his job, got addicted to drugs, refused to work any job that was beneath him. He died feeling like a loser who lost everything he had worked for his whole life. He had the mindset of an elitist type liberal but he didn't just think he was the smartest person in the room, he really was the smartest person in the room.

When he was doing something he loved he worked hard, if he had to work a job just to survive he wouldn't do it. He was never the type to do what you have to to survive (I'm not just talking his job, I'm talking taking care of his lawn, upkeep on his house or car or making sure his bills were paid on time, those types of things). That was one of his biggest flaws. I have often wondered what he would have done if he had a child, would he have "done what it takes" to get by until he got a job "worthy" of his presence?  My husband worked three jobs, totally unrelated to his field (or "beneath" him as DUers would say), after he lost his first "real" job out of collage.  He (and I would as well) will always "do what it takes" no matter how "low" the job may be.

I don't like the fact that I doubt that my brother would have done any job he could to support his child if he had one. It makes me really sad that I feel this way but I do.

Hard to believe we came from the same womb ...

My sister is about 5 years older than me. We have always been pretty different. I am the expressive one, trying to "find myself" and having many jobs and lifestyles in that search...while she did exactly as she was trained to do, get a good job, credit, husband, etc...

Now, her and her husband have a pretty nice house in Washoe Co. she works full time and he is home to take care of the kids since he is on permanent disability (3 back surgeries...) They have a boat, cars, and TONS of debt...because they live on their plastic and if anything should happen to her job their lifestyle would be in the crapper. I have often envied her for her "stable" life, and the fact that she has done it all "right" They don't make $250K a year though, they are just average americans by most standards.

I am a renter and have a section 8 subsidy for help to pay my rent, single mom of 3 and 2 bad exes over the last 20 years..i have never owned anything of value, can't get a credit card to save my life and have trouble just keeping a bank account open, because I play it so close to the vest to live. i did find my passion in career, i work part time for my church and the other half of my time I pick up freelancing writing gigs with our local news rag and do web design and mktg...still it is nickels and dimes compared to a steady job - but 40+ hours a week has never worked for me, especially with a special needs child.

Now - here's what I am getting to.
My sis & B-i-L were up at the folk's cabin this weekend, and I stooped by to see them and let our kids play. Within the first 5 minutes, my sister nods to my obama button and says, "you better take that off before my husband sees it."
I was like...:"excuuse me?"
she says "well, he's for the other ones" (couldn't even say Mccain or palin's names?)
i said "too bad he will be crying in his beer Nov 5th"
she says "what a sad day that will be"
again, shocked...I said "what, are you serious?"
she said "we don't like 'that one'...can't trust him...don't buy his spiel, he's fake..."

 Are you ****ing kidding me!???

I changed the subject and walked away, trying to avoid a confrontation......went to play with the kids. As I am standing there talking to her about our health, etc... I am thinking I don't even know this person, she is my sister, and I know her less than an acquaintance...how are we even of the same womb and upbringing... !

so as we are all going out to the cars in about an hour,
Her husband makes a snide comment about tearing off my bumper stickers...
I just looked them both in the face and said

"you know, YES, I AM a peace-mongering, liberal, care for my fellow man, hippie.... there's one in every family I guess, Better get used to it!"

I kept it light, but they could tell I wasn't going to feel ashamed for my choices.

enough said, I got the kids in the car and got out of there before I got mad....
they wanted to get together for lunch tomorrow but we were busy and I won't have to deal with them until after the election...

I got home and called my Mom, just to say I couldn't believe that she had swung that way... and she said they don't even vote! ...so they have no real right to an opinion since they don't care enough to vote! This is my southern, Barack-voting Momma who grew up deep in Mississippi and just recently decided He was the only hope we had for the future!

Good, two LESS we have to worry about!
ugh.

I love my sister, but sometimes I think my mom had an affair with the milkman because I am SO different from her and my dad! Yikes!

ha...that's not funny.

As a Medi-CAL patient for my entire adult life, I have been my own advocate for my health and that of my kids for years...

Thank godness I actually took pre-med clases in college and have a working knowledge of the human body and can ask questions and demand tests, etc from my LESS THAN MEDIOCRE doctors - There is only ONE dentist in town that takes MediCAL and only ONE pediatrician, and only ONE clinic with a rotating door for patients and docs...it's amazing we haven't found ourselves in dire straits due to falling through the cracks. Though on more than one occasion I have had to tell the doc at the clinic "I'm not leaving until you do the strep test!" ...when they are telling me I am upset NOT because I am SICK - but that I need ANTI_DEPRESSANTS!

This was an interesting article about the use of Cadavers in Medical school lessons. I had no idea that Med students only spend one semester with their cadavers...I thought it was (at least) a full year! How many doctors really have the expreience to see their patients as people, much less as people who experience pain and the discomfort and helplessness of death?
