Tragedy at a home daycare in Vaughan, ON

[Artsand crafts]

I Know two sisters who each had a child they both kicked out the boyfriends. They both receive welfare, subsidized housing, reduced utility costs, free prescriptions, subsidized daycare, they both have cars, they never miss a weekend of partying according to the Facebook photos, they both smoke, and they went to the Dominican a few months ago .... I've only ever been to Florida and I'm more then twice their age. And then they post on Facebook how the government screwed them again by not changing their marital status and they didn't get the added money !!! Really??

I know someone like that, but is a mother and daughter instead. They used to live in a very rough area each one with their own apartment through welfare. She explained that somehow they put both their cases together and now their apartment rent allowance increased. Currently they live together in a nice area, in an ample, bright apartment with a nice view. When we went to visit the daughter to their new apartment she announced she was pregnant with her 3rd child!!... She (I don't know about the mother) also travels to South America once or twice a year according to her Facebook photos and comments. She just came back a few months ago from Ecuador and now she is announcing she is going to Cuba soon... My husband and I sometimes joke that we should just quit our jobs, get divorced and go right after welfare and get together just for the weekends... We haven't been out on vacation since I was pregnant 3 years ago. It even took us 10 year after getting married to decide starting a family because among other things didn't feel we were financially ready... I think the problem is that if there aren't proper rules and a system in place for welfare there will always people that will abuse it... I agree that there are the ones that really need help, but if the government just trust in the "integrity" of people we will just end up hearing a lot of histories like this.... Imagine if an epidemic of this thinking starting to spread... There would not be anyone funding the system and we all end up in extreme poverty, and then we all would have to get back to work if we were lucky after crashing the economy that way.
