You guys aren't very professional that's all I have to say but thank you for answering my question anyway have a good night!!

[stinawords]

So absolutley everyone else get's the "baby bonus"? Even the doctors and lawyers? Or is part of their taxes (as well as other non lower class families) going to pay for the "baby bonus"? Scott wasn't telling you not to use a tax credit... as I said a tax credit is completely different than a form of welfare. I stick to my answer that I'm glad you are working and I hope you continue to grow with your family and get to a point that you don't need the extra help from the government. I'm not saying that because I am condeming you for needing it but I really don't want you to be one of the many, many others that gets on the cycle of having an entire family always receiving some sort of welfare. Trust me it actually feels good to be able to work for your money and pay for everything yourself. I'm glad you are working but you may as well get used to people judging you people make judgements about others all the time it only takes three seconds for an entire first impression of someone to be formed so make those three seconds count!

i suggust you should quit judging me yes i know it's government and yes taxpayers pay it im not dense!!!! all im saying is that i have a job i can afford my child and why not take the money that is given to everyone that has a child, so because im a lower class doesn't give me the right to have a baby(family)???
and yes i did get my question answered im not digging myself into a hole i just don't appreciate someone judging me when you are here to give advice and i asked for advice not to be judged, i get that im in a "lower class" than alot of people or maybe you, maybe you are better than me , so be it. so in that case are you saying i shouldn't except the health care that is provided for canadians either?!

First, when you post a question on a site like this you take the risk of being judged.

Second, try reading your own posts. You stated that you weren't being a burden on the taxpayer. Why would you say that if you understood that taxpayers were footing the bill for this.

Third, no this money is NOT paid to everyone who has a child. Its only paid to people who's income is below a certain level. I already said that I wasn't saying you shouldn't take the money.

But I also answered this question; "so because im a lower class doesn't give me the right to have a baby(family)???" I don't believe you do have the right to have a baby if you can't support that baby on your own. After I was MARRIED, we waited until we could afford to support a child before having one.

Finally, yes, you do keep digging yourself into a hole.

If I knew doctors or lawyers on a personal level I could answer that for you, I don't know all I was saying is that it is something we get even if we work. It is something that is for "my son" and is put away for him maybe a college fund you know stuff I didn't have when I was a kid so the money I make pays my bills.
My first impression was fine but when I start getting judged because I'm a "lower class" than someone I do not like it and yes I get defensive.

[sophieboo1]

When you have a baby here the forms are already at your bedside when you get there so it's not like we seek the baby bonus checks

[sophieboo1]

Scott, yes i can support my child i have said before i have a job, but everyone gets the rights to a baby bonus, yes i might be lower class, so be it! And my income might not be up to par but that's where im at and i just live from what i am paid.

You get defensive the same way we do I see how much of my money is paying for other peoples children... just as you were not wanting to share money with your boyfriends ex. It's really the same concept except we don't have a chioce whether we want to share. Unless of course I want to quit or get a lesser paying job (for which I wouldn't have had to work so very hard for) and also receive government benefits. So, yes I do actually understand where you are coming from not wanting to see your money being used on someone else's child. I have children of my own as well yes, I do know how expensive they are.

I'm not digging anything, what will happen to me? All I'm doing is defending myself and family from you "prefessional" people

[ScottGem]

all i was saying is that it is something we get even if we work. It is something that is for "my son" and is put away for him maybe a college fund ya know stuff i didn't have when i was a kid so the money i make pays my bills.
my first impression was fine but when i start getting judged because im a "lower class" than someone i do not like it and yes i get defensive.

Again, I researched this and this is paid ONLY to people who qualify with a below limit income.

You were not judged because you are lower class. In fact, I never characterized you that way. I judged you for having a child when previous posts indicated you couldn't afford one. However, this last post indicates that maybe you don't need the money to support the child, but rather you have applied for it just because you are entitled to it.

K now I'm done talking about this, I only asked if any of my sons money could go to my bf's other son because his ex wanted it--that's it, so I am done talking to you people. And yes I feel I was being judged because I am lower class, yes maybe I didn't go to college to get a "high paying" job I didn't have those options growing up so I did what I could and now I have a job and it gets me what I need, I might not live a very extravigant life but I am happy with my family we have love and what we need and a roof over our heads and that's all I ask for... so thanks for the "advice"
And yes I am entitled to it so I take it, and I also pay taxes money comes off or my checks I work for too, so I'm not exactly sure what we are talking about anymore, it's a baby bonus I work I'm not "living off the government"

The difference is that a "baby bonus" is not for everyone as you said it was. It is only for those that can't afford their children by themselves. So you are saying that if you didn't have to pay taxes you would not be eleigable for the baby bonus that you are now because you pay taxes. Here is the difference (I'm an accountant I would know) everyone gets a tax credit that has a child, however only those below a certain income level receive extra money each month which comes from the taxes that the "richer" people pay. Money that let's face it they worked hard to get. I didn't say you were LIVING off the government but the baby bonus is still a form of welfare. There are many forms of welfare you may not be eleigable for all of them but you are for that one. No one was saying don't take it because your child has a greater chance of success if you do. But don't go off on some tangent about how you shouldn't be judged just becaue you don't make as much money as others. I hope someone else will learn from this post because you still haven't seemed to grasp our responses. You don't need to say over and over that you are done with this site either... all you have to do is not reply and/or not come back.
