That is very generous and thoughtful Hound, and I applaud you for it. In times past you would get help from family and friends to help you through rough times, and I believe that is the RIGHT thing to do. I did not mean to imply that we should never give help, and am sorry if that was the way it sounded. I do have a problem when we are simply perpetuating the rewards for bad habits. We have generations of people who have never contributed, and are nothing more than baby factories – these people appear to be getting aid far too easily, while those with legitimate disabilities are left in the cold. With our daughter, there have been several times that she “needed” help, but was doing nothing to help herself while continuing bad habits – if we had given in all the time, I would have called it welfare.
