Should I ask my DS and his girlfriend for money

Then don’t say anything else. This isn’t your thread. You don’t get to decide what people post nor are you compelled to respond to people then tell them off for responding back!

Put the phone down and go watch a film, or take a walk, or write. Internet forums or the internet in general is probably not the best if you’re not feeling good.

I have nothing more to say on here. The personal attacks on me have started - and they've been reported

But it’s known to generally improve health and wellbeing. Her son is young, and already signed off sick having presumably never worked. Thats no life. There is help out there, people don’t need to be writing themselves off in their 20s, holed up with their girlfriend who also doesn’t work. Work, for most people, is a net positive in their life.

No I did not take suggestions on board. It was a joke.

But the reason I was awake at 1am is that I'm suffering from horrible crippling insomnia. By the way - I just finished an online degree. Despite all the stuff I've been going through in my offline life - and you want people like me to fill in potholes. You're a disgrace and so is anyone that agrees with you.

And that is the very LAST thing I'll ever say to you or your like on here.

Why don't you just go away. Like I repeat. Just go away - shame I didn't put it into action. Sorry that I'm suffering from crippling insomnia that has me sleeping an hour a night despite being on medication. You know nothing about me. You are just a bully. You've been awful to lots of people on here. Not just me.

Keep your nose out.

I see you already agreed the rent. That's good. I don't really agree with kids moving their partners in, but if they do. They should pay rent.

Technically when the DS and the GF offer to "pay rent" it'll be us indirectly paying for it.

What an absolute rude individual. Don't worry. I won't post on here again. I'll just let the OP be bullied by the we hate people on benefits and we hate people with mental health issues brigade. Over and out!

Maybe you should keep your nose out and not tell other people how much they should post. You aren't a mod - and it's not up to you as to how often I post on the boards

You sound like a truly caring parent. A dose of tough love works wonders in the long run.

Maybe you should take a step back- you've been constantly posting on here since 9am this morning. Have a break !

Have you read the full thread. Her son is going to give her 200 quid a month and she's going to give 120. Because she gets less than he does as she's not on disability benefits and the son is

£30 a week 🫣 I can’t see any bullying tbh

They've said they are going to contribute. Maybe read the full thread

He's on disability benefits. I am too. Does that make me a scrounger?

Imagine thinking its ok at age 22 to scrounge off your mum whilst not being arsed to work, oh and then doing the exact same again with his girlfriend.
They need a job and if they dont want one then they need to see that it isnt free to live and they need to contribute to the household.
Its not fair on you. Absolute freeloaders!

Have you seen the pages of critical comments the OP has been subjected to?

Absolutely I would not ever bully at all. My daughter has the worst anxiety of anyone I have ever seen but I would never allow her to let that ruin her life’s potential. Her very first shift we sat outside and she was panting shaking crying could not go in but I would not let her give up. A month later she was fine. It is not the end though at every point she panics she wants me let her go home but I can’t because it will not help her at all.we cannot write our young off unless it is absolutely necessary.

I've asked mods to take a look at this thread - because the grief the OP is getting is completely disproportionate to the question she asked . Enough is enough. Stop kicking her

Can you not stop. The OP has said she's signed on with an agency today. I really hope that mumsnet torch this thread because the OP is being hung out to dry all over the place

Work didn't improve my my mental health

It didn't improve my uncles when he killed himself.

Keeping busy helps with being anxious? Completely delusional. Being anxious and having anxiety are not the same thing

Please don't. If you continue this I'll be reporting your posts. Completely unacceptable. You are bullying someone vulnerable

I’m sorry if I sound rude but I feel really strongly about this. Why on earth have you raised a child to think it is acceptable to claim money from the tax payer and not work?! This would not be an option in my house at all. My girl has serious anxiety and has had a part time job since 16 while at sixth form and now full time employed. If anything keeping busy helps with being anxious.the benefit system was for people who cannot work and a safety net for difficult times not a way of life. No wonder our country is in the mess it is with this going on

It sounds like your son is tagging on to the mental health train. Can none of the three of you work? Really?

Work improves mental health for most people. It doesn’t have to be something overly stressful, even two days a week in the local shop. Anything to get out, see people, fresh air and something to talk about and learn.

I can’t imagine it’s helping any of you to be in doors with no job together. It must be even more depressing.
