Paying maintance

[scottishgal89]

I think you guys are very lucky to get what you do in the way of maintenance(sp?) I am only entitled to £5 a week because FOB is on DLA and IS...

same here

Well i dont think you should complain £5 a week is more than some people get! £20 a month would buy a new outfit or a toy or saved!

i do get that people are worse off. im lucky and would be able to support lo myself without his help and i get that for some people its not that easy. you put a bit of a bad spin on this thread though. we were only sharing our stories and even though some people get a fiver a week yeah fine thats a help but some of those people will be even more worse off than you even though you get nothing

i never took it personally at all i just think you took this whole thread too seriously and got annoyed at something you shouldnt have.
and yes there are people worse off than you whether they get maintenance or not.
to think you are in the worst possible situation isnt right. your not.
i never said EVERYONE who gets maintenance is worse off than you but there will be many who are

you've totally blown this whole thing out of proportion and are being rude now. i never said anything wrong. im aware i dont know your situation but there are people who are in a lot worse situations whether they get that fiver extra a week or not. ie- living on the streets with a baby and no food. its not necessarily the case that people who get maintenance pay and benefits are better off. it depends how much they get of each.
im not trying to argue with you. also, i'd appreciate if you dont say my name on here. thanks

nothing i said was intended to come across rude or offensive and tbh i dont think i did
yes getting nothing from fob isnt good but things could be worse.
at the end of the day if you couldnt manage you wouldnt have got your own place at the moment.
just remember that your saying people shouldnt moan about getting to little but you dont know all of their situations either
remove my name from that post

im not out of order at all. you started all this when all i did was apologise for any offence i caused to you.
i think you should take a step back and re-read this tomorrow when you've calmed down.
money isnt everything at the end of the day and things could be worse. you could be out on the streets
how would you not being able to afford food make me happy? that doesnt even make sense and your just going off on one now.
ive obviously hit a sore spot somehow and i didnt mean to. this conversation is now over as an arguement is being created out of nowhere and its ridiculous.

meaning are you happy now youve made me announce that to the world!

Yes of course ive taken offence to some of your comments. I didnt start it, your reaction to my initial statement did. THAT was where the soft spot was hit!

I think you should stop telling me what to do.

Bye

the only thing i have told you to do is remove my name which is not too much to ask.
i apologised in the first post so im not sure how that caused offence.
and as for you announcing something to the world. i didnt MAKE you do anything
bye then
