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

hrm, i guess he's my stepbrother?... mum's now deceased husband's son...? Yeah anyway, him and his girlfriend had a girl just around christmas i think? wow so vague.

ANYWAY she stopped working and they're DEFINITELY doing the dodgy because they haven't registered him as the dad or whatever.... but she gets $980 a fortnight.

I was BLOWN away by how fucking much that is. it's insane. when i paid $115 rent per week i only got $410 or something a fortnight (as a uni student).

So that REALLLLLLY sucks for you... :( i hope that it all works out for the best though... in the long run it'll be better for your family to have a house and everything instead of just renting.

whaaaaat thats CRAZY!! i only earn like 300 more than that and i work full time!! thats a crazy amount of money holy shit..!!! i think my uncle and his 'wife' do that, they have three kids so they get shit loads. like, i coul not acknowledge mark as my husband / the father or whatever, but im proud to be married so no way. friggin centrelink, its all fucked.

Yeah its insane! She's in like housing trust unit or something too so her rent is only like $60 a week or something.. Daniel lives there and he works fulltime but they don't know about it, so they'd be easy clearing $1200 a week...

Its fucked because if I was in the same situation as you, I'd def. put my husbands name on the birth certificate as the father and stuff. Its all retarded... but I guess its still a good thing you do get the baby bonus, so that is a help

this whole thing actually really dissapoints me. it makes you wonder who gets to approve this kind of bullshit. i hope you work something out <33
