AIBU in thinking people are seriously money obsessed.

[Sunnymummy2014]

Hi I am a new mum as off jan 2014.
AIBU to think this was out of order, I had a post on mm Facebook with my daughter in her new baby play house thingy that I bought her. I am on benefits ( IS, CTC with disabled element and daughter receives DLA.

Someone felt the need to screen shot my post and post it on a group that I am not a member off to complain about me not working because my daughter had a new toy ? And I get too much money for me and daughter which isn't fair to working people just because she is sick.

AIBU in thinking surely not everyone begrudges DLA and extra tax credits ? Or I shouldn't treat my daughter ?

Ha blunt ! It really got to me , I was being messages by complete strangers !

YANBU

She's a horrible person
I

Thankyou , I didn't know if I was in the wrong as maybe they thought I was shoving it in there face but all I was doing was showing dd of in her house :)

There are some truly ridiculous people around, sadly.

I hope you sent the idiots who messaged the obvious reply, Sunny. 2 words, no explanation needed:

Fuck Off

Don't engage with them, sunny. There's some that think people with benefits should just rot away silently out of sight instead of trying to enjoy their lives. Fuck them.

You didn't do anything wrong, please don't think that!

What kind of twats would begrudge a baby a toy.

message back

I'm sure your mum is very proud of you for these comments. However, I am raising my dd to not be judgemental and jealous.

Make a note of their names so that if you are ever introduced you won't need to make smalltalk because you will already know they are a cunt.

I'd defriend the ass who did that, after explaining why. Some people are just gits.

That's an awful thing to do. Please don't respond to them, block your "friend" and move on.

Yh I deleted her already. Just felt really bad that people would think like that about me. I would swap the money for my daughter to b healthy , Thankyou for making me feel better.

In their day children only ever played with sticks and mud......you've been far too extravagant buying your child a toy!!!

Ha fos lady !

some really nasty people out there

why would somebody do such a nasty thing

you are entitled to spend your daughters dla how you see fit.im sure she will get hours of fun with it

It's not the money/benefits-obsession that's necessarily the problem. It's people who feel entitled to make judgements about others and their perceived life-styles when they don't even know them. Such people are generally known as "arseholes". I blame the telly.

You're a new mum with a disabled DD.

Come off FB it will give you nothing but grief. Go back later on, but right now you have more than enough to deal with. Make FB one thing less.

Where did they post the picture in a facebook group how horrible

Just another reason not to join FB. It is full of self obsessed idiots.

Ignore.....Ignore.....Ignore.

I hope your daughter loves her little house.

Wow that is absolutely disgusting behaviour!

I know it's hard but try and let the comments Go over your head op.
Dla is there for anything your daughter needs, spend it on what you know your daughter needs/wants!.

I'm the same as you my youngest Dc is disabled and I don't work because of it and receive what you do. When I had the letter informing me of the dla, my family warned me not to say to people about it. And have since seen that there is a lot of stigma about it. Crazy.

I hope your daughter enjoys playing with her lovely new toy.

Tell them to go and do one!

And this is why I hate programmes like Benefits Street and the like, you can bet that that the arseholes who felt entitled to comment on your picture have every programme like it on reminder and share their outrage freely all over FB...
Bunch of twats the lot of them, I really do hope your DD has been enjoying the lovely weather with her new toy
