Nc for this.
I lost my job at 27 weeks. I was heartbroken. Had to go onto UC and through them I applied for a lot of jobs. Didn't end up getting one. I live in a place where it's hard to find a job, especially pregnant. The only one that came back to me was working in a factory, 40 mins there and 40 back. It wasn't ideal being pregnant and my work coach admitted I would struggle to find much. My aunt made a comment that if I was that desperate for a job I would have took that one.
Anyway, after applying for what felt like a million jobs and not getting anywhere I decided to give up at about 35 week, as DP is working, and I spoke to my work coach who suggested I enjoy the time off with my baby and perhaps ease myself back into work when she's 1 and start part time or go back to college as I am young enough. DP is happy with this as he is working full time, we do struggle fianancially but we manage. (DD is now 6 months)
All I get from my family, and DPs, is bitchy comments about "being on the dole" and it's starting to really upset me. I feel so embarrased about my siutation. I'm made to feel lazy.
For example, I asked my aunt if she knew how UC worked as it confused me at first. She bluntly said shes never been on the dole so she wouldn't know. I sent her a snapchat of me and DD sat on the sofa with the dog and I was in my dressing gown (fully dressed underneath) and she replied saying I was lazy for being in my pyjamas all day. 
I sent her a picture of something i'd seen in a shop and she asked what I had been up to this week besides "a bit of shopping". When I tell her what I actually do and ask her what she's been doing she says working as per usual. I feel like asking what she did with her babies, leave them at home all day as she works So hard 
Same with DPs family, MIL told me there was a full time job going at a local cafe. I said I was hoping to enjoy this first year as me and Dp had agreed worked for us then go back into work. She scoffed at that and said she went back to work when all her children was under 8 mths.
DP sometimes works away and I look after the two (working) dogs. They are big, require a lot of exercise, and sometimes its hard when he is away but we manage. I visited DPs GM and said how difficult it can be sometimes managing them whilst he's not at home and she snapped saying "well, you're at home all day, it can't be that hard, imagine if you had to go to work everyday I did back when we had our dog".
I don't know why everyone seems to assume because I'm on benefits it means i automatically just sit at home all day being lazy and living the life of Riley. A typical day for me is obviously caring for DD, but walking the dogs, going to DMs to cook/clean for her (she is part paralysed I'm her carer), doing the housework, playgroups etc.
Maybe I am BU and these comments are reasonable but I'm fed up of being made to feel like a lazy good for nothing. DPs sister is on maternity leave from her job, never gets comments made to her. I wish I was on "maternity leave" so i didn't feel so useless.
