Worried I'm going to lose CalFresh Benefits 😭

I had to reapply on the phone and the case worker asked who lives in the house and I said me, my son, my partner and his mom, but I tried to clarify that his mom isn't in our "household." We don't prepare or buy food with her, we rent a back room in her house from her. I'm scared we're going to lose our benefits because I said we live with her 😭 I left a message to the case worker after our phone meeting to clarify that she's not in our "household" and we don't share food, buy food, or cook with her. I'm so upset with myself. I need some reassurance of some kind.

As long as you pay her rent and do everything separately you will be fine. What also might help is a letter signed by her

You're so welcome 😁 I understand the stress but everything will work out I did the same thing and it was fine

You're good. I live with my mom in the same apt. As long as they know that you're good.

I worked for calfresh you'll be okay! As long as you cook and prepare food separately as you mentioned. And make sure you tell them this if they try to push back

Am I Rude because I don’t feel like it šŸ˜‚

Can anyone tell me why people feel so entitled to not RSVP and still think they can show up let alone with their friends or their children’s friends who you don’t know . My family is crying and throwing a sissy fit because I sent this message but quite frankly I don’t see anything rude about it since I’m spending MY money to throw an event

Am I wrong for wanting to leave?

My fiance has depression along with other conditions and it’s just a lot at the moment. This year has been a lot for us emotionally and financially but Its like he’s always getting on at me, looking for arguments, going through my phone, monitoring where I am etc. I can’t even have a social life! It was my close friends 25th at the beginning of the month and I missed it even though it was from 7 till late all because he hid the keys and said no. He doesn’t even trust me around gay men like I am trying but it’s becoming draining! I don’t want to be with him anymore but I feel bad for feeling this way šŸ˜” when I spoke to my work friends they spoke as if this is what relationships are not always as fun especially when you’re older and that I shouldn’t nitpick so much because he’s going through a rough patch. Problem is I feel like I always get the bad end of the stick every single depressive episode!

I have been at my parents the last week almost and I feel even MORE stressed because he’s always texting me accusing me of cheating or doing something behind his back. We havent been engaged long now but gosh I want to cancel it already

WWYD?

Would you stay home and take the day off work or still go in?

We had a bit of an accident this morning where my son got burnt on the treadmill (in between/on one of his toes). We spent 6+ hours in emerg since it looked like it went down to the bone (it didn’t thankfully, just the top layer of skin) I work tomorrow though, I’m torn between staying home with him to make sure he’s doing okay/toe doing okay vs going to work and letting my in laws take care of him. He is doing okay, able to walk on his foot and all that but would you stay home or go into work?

I also don’t need to hear any negative comments from others, my own mind has done enough of that for myself today.

MIL naked infront of 2 year old daughter

I think its a difference in culture mainly but my MIL is very open in this sense and it makes me feel uncomfortable. She goes to the toilet infront of my daughter too and I really dont know how to feel about it. On one hand its educational, on the other hand I find my MIL quite unhygienic in general. Recently my partner has had to tell his Mum off for handling my daughters food with her hands after smoking, without washing her hands. And just smoking around her in general. My daughter can eat with cutlery and is doing well in general in her developments but I find my MIL still treats my daughter like a small baby and teaches her naughty things like mean faces, swear words, and generally teaching her to be mean to others. And other bad habits like watching youtube videos on her phone. This is just a few issues…
