We had SD living with us for a while then BM asked for her back. Found out today that she is on a single mothers benefit even though she is engaged and getting married in january.
So frustrated with this individual. Her daughter is nothing but an income to her.
I have dobbed her in but am still feeling really angry! Especially since now we can no longer have a private arrangement for child support and theres no way we can afford to see my SD and pay CS!
Hope the bitch gets caught soon as im over dealing with her.

We had that too! We did get custody and she dropped her own self in it! We applied for the SSI for SD and were denied beause of DH's income which meant she could not get it iether. She would entice the kids back to her so that she could claim them on her taxes too! We paid child support even when we had the kids...money is her GOD! I am happy with food in my belly, clothes on my back and a roof over my head...and the occasional shopping trip! I have all of the above and much more but I am very well aware that it can all be taken in an instant by mother nature. We've rebuilt our lives from just the clothes we stood up in twice! Hurricane and a house fire. The one constant is the love we have for each other and for our kids. BM has done the kids so much damage it's unbelieveable! They'll recover and make good though.

BF's ex is the same way. She relies on the kids to help pay for her own wants. Currently, she's sitting on her ass collecting CS, Baby Bonus (well over $1000), disability cheques for SS's ADHD, and even more govt' money to help pay for his medical expenses (medication which she took him off of!), AND the weekly paycheques her so-called BF/piggy bank brings home! She's actually bringing in MORE money than my BF who works full-time! We are actually going to look into having her CS lowered because the money is technically for THREE kids - well, her oldest hasn't lived with her for the past year, and she doesn't give her dad (the kid's legal guardian now) a penny - heck, she asks HIM for money for stuff! She's even mentioned getting her youngest daughter tested for ADHD, too, just so she could collect ANOTHER cheque, if you can believe that! She's all about the mighty dollar. BF even told me that that's one of the reasons he left her - she always had to spend the paycheques as soon as they came in. And now that he's not around to "control her" (as she put it), she's got debt upto her eyeballs...BUT at least she's got a nice new manicure to show for it! And this is what she's teaching her kids, that material things are all that matters!
