all this time i thought i had been doing the right thing, by setting myself up with my own home and working full time to pay for said home.. so that it would all be perfect for my baby. (/future baby at that time) but it turns out that because i have earned too much in the financial year and because i dont rent i am entitled to sweet fuck all when im off work with the baby. bleh. so fucking wrongtown, because i am going to struggle just as fucking much as anyone else out there who gets benefits from the damn government. only now i will struggle more because i will be getting $46 a fortnight where they get AT LEAST 250. probably more. seriously. $46? whats that gonna get me, nappies? and all because i have set myself up right. honestly, id struggle less if i was a single mother who has never worked. gahhhhhhhhhhhh. so basically. i will not be giving up work until he is actually born. which fucking sucks because i can barely handle it now. and then i can only stay off work for as long as i can stretch the baby bonus. which could be two months, could be three.. but ill aim for four. makes me sick to the stomach thinking of working while im that huge and uncomfortable. serious.
