uh, actually, you're saying you don't care if the way you speak offends people, yet we aren't "allowed" to comment to you and offend you? get over it! no one cares about your age. your att_tude in your posts shows your immaturity and shows you aren't ready to be a mom.

So... I pretty much agree with everything V has ever said ever. Haha. that's my input. Now, I don't pay taxes, but when I do, at least I can be comfortable knowing that my money might be helping someone in need. There is absolutely nothing wrong with seeking help and receiving it. If anything, it's admirable to show humility and not be ashamed by it.

I actually like V, so I feel pretty privileged that I got to help pay for her child XP

Thank you ladies. I have to say that it is something that I feel bad about especially when I think about how people DO feel about having chunks of their hard earned paychecks going out to people who aren't working. I mean I felt HORRIBLE!! And then to hear people expressing it and that they seem to think any girl on government help is going to be a slacker and bad mother-god that gets to me. I've experienced the negative att_tudes and it hurt me because I was always a hard-worker. Always on the straight and narrow and from one traumatic event I'm now a statistic, and get looks that I never thought I'd get in a million years. I have to say I've gotten over it somewhat because it is true that my son probably wouldn't be here if it weren't for that help. I was working when I was pregnant but my son's father popped up one day and hit me in my stomach and from then on I had problems with my pregnancy and couldn't work for awhile. Things got a little better and I tried to go get another job that was less strenuous and by then I was showing and no one would hire me. I won't say they didn't hire me because I was pregnant-hell they might have been able to tell that I was weak and sick and in pain and may have thought I was a risk. Soooo I can't blame them. I ended up being induced 3 weeks early because of severe preeclampsia and that's why I say it saved us. I already didn't want to go into the hospital, but if I didn't have insurance, I probably wouldn't have gone when I got my severe headache and stiffening of my neck and back. At the point I got to the hospital it was an emergency situation, and my blood pressure was steadily rising. I can't remember what it was, but it was at the level that they were shocked that I hadn't gone into having seizures already. So that lets me know that yes the taxpayers creating that option saved our lives. Thanks Teddy!!! LOL!!! Also thanx addysmummy (sorry I don't remember your name). It's true that some people are working the system and popping out babies just to be taken care of-I've seen it, but I'm not one of them. I like to say that it was a hand up when I got knocked down instead of a handout.

Sorry to get off subject but I just had a thought....what's the story behind your children's names??? I love hearing these stories.

Ohhh fun. Well my daughter's name is Elizabeth Rae. I was very picky about her name. I wanted something elegant, cute and fun. Something that could fit her age as she grew older, and something that would make people smile when they heard it. Elizabeth was the elegant part, probably more appropriate for when she's older. Ellie I think is very cute and it makes me smile :) Perfect for infancy to teens. So not much there, I just thought it was the perfect name haha. As for her middle name... I wanted it to flow nicely with her first name, and probably not more than one syllable. I had a lot of time to think it over and it actually hit me when I was listening to the song "Here comes the sun" by the beatles. That song means a lot to me. When I was about ten years old a man named Don, who was like a father to me, gave me a snowglobe (well, there wasn't any snow, it was glitter... and instead of a snowman there were bears having a picnic) it also played that song when it was winded up. I loved it and I played it constantly. I would wind it up as tightly as I possibly could and fall asleep listening to it. Well, shortly after that he was hospitalized. He was a smoker and had lung cancer. He was actually due to get his surgery on the day that he died. The name "Rae" comes from "ray of sunshine." It was just my way of paying tribute to him.

How precious!!! That is an awesome story. Just think how much meaning and purpose you have given to her by her having such a great and meaningful name. Later in her life when she explains that to people, it will be something she carries with a sense of pride!!!

There are also alot of people who DO work who also get government help. I know people who work their a__ses off and just dont make enough to do it in their own. Be it lack of education or just plain hard times. I was on medicaid with my daughter. I was 19 and workin at wal-mart. I worked my entire pregnancy though i wasnt supposed to. I went into labor at 26 weeks. Luckily, they stopped it. I couldnt afford to not work so i went back. They let me be a cashier and sit on a stool. I was at work when i went into labor. (This was before Ryan had grown up and wasnt really in the picture. He was to busy lying and cheating at the time. But thats the past) So i am definately thankful for those who understand they are helping othere n need and dont b___h about it. I mean i do draw the line at cash a__sistance and food stamps. But dont look down on those who are on them. You can only receive them for 2 years of your life, so if thats what helps some people out for that period of time, more power to them.

Well, my husband was in Iraq and I was here. We had just found out we were having a girl. I told him how much I loved the name Addison but he wasn't too keen on it. So out of respect for him I went to babynames dot com and gathered up all the girls names and named them off. He told me he liked the name Adriana which I was fine with because I wanted to call her Addy. And bam, there we have it lol.

I'll be honest, I posted the idea but i'm pretty paranoid about my son's father who likes to occa__sionally stalk me, so if you wanna hear my story or ever just want to talk, find me on myspace. You can do the web address / vasa9653 or search vasa9653 under people. Just message me and tell me your from this site and your screen name over here and I'll add you.

look I work and go to school but my job does not offer insurance and as 4 the whole probation/parole thing I did my whole sentence of 83 month and 27days so I'm on probation now that my jail sentence is completly over. and I dont need yall to feel sorry for me but I would rather be locked down for 7 years rather than see a man beat my mother untill he breaks her ribs and tries to kill her in our own house in front of me so whatever if ya dont beleive me then fine I know where I been and I dont wanna go back so call me what you like call me worthless call me stupid but it doesn't phase me because I feel like I did wrong in this forum and in society just like yall did and I have accepted that...................... but to be honest I have to focus on the fact that I'm gonna be a single mother raising my first child by myself and deal with everything else on my plate so yall can talk bad about me or look at me as worthless if you would like but I really dont have time to keep arguing with a bunch people that I dont know. so good luck n peace to all yall. (this will also be posted on the only the mature may comment thread also)
