You have no idea how much I agree and can relate to this Crayola.... long before I had ds, I drew assistance for a bit, and they paid me more to stay home and do nothing, my rent was paid, my meds, my bus pass, my utility bills, my phone, and food and I got $1000.00 with that because I was a person who was disabled....
The social worker was surprised that I even wanted a job, but I pounded the pavement and worked as hard as I could, even if it meant 2 jobs, long hours and eating kd forever.... The social worker just couldn't fathom why I'd give "the comfort of the system up."
But here's the kicker I wanted to work....I hated the idea of someone paying for me...
