people where have all you been. Last year (into this year) I had a mom claim single, because they needed stuff done to their house. Her and her dh make as much as my dh and I. She used someone elses addy (family) and all she had to do is say that she is seperate. Voila, she got money and lots of it. And not only that, her kids activites are either paid for or she gets a discount.
also, i know my bff's mother (we've been bff's for 30 yrs) sat on welfare forever till she qualified for canada pension or something like this. And the reason she didn't work was....she wanted to stay home and take care of her children even as adults.
I can go on and on.
if people need it, then i have no problem but 80% are just screwing the goverment. Like really, when you have one child and on welfare and finding it difficult then why would you continue to have 4 more kids (yup know a mom too)
