[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 435914, member: 3306"] Yes. That was kind of my point. There are people out there who need a hand up while they sort things out. There are folks out there with disabled kids that need assistance to get them the care and medication they need. In this state, you can't try to better yourself, though, because you will get cut off before you can get to where you are self-supporting. Then you are back at square one. I work with a woman who is going through a divorce. She should have gotten a full time job this summer, as we have summers off, to support her kids, but chose to stay at the school. She expects that everyone will give her food and clothing. She just [i]expects [/i]it. I don't think she's setting a very good example for her kids. When I was a single mom, I never applied for that stuff. I work, two jobs sometimes, and my kids saw me get up every day with a smile and get to work on time because that was the way it had to be. We didn't have much and things were really tight at times. We didn't have extras like internet, cable or cell phones. We had a little old house that I had worked hard to buy and each other. I think some folks want it all and they want someone else to pay for it. Everyone needs help sometimes, but I don't think it is right not to try to better yourself first. [/QUOTE]
