My boyfriend won't pay for food

[DramaInPajamas]

Here we go with judgmental ignorant people again! First off, I was willing to get a full time job, but my parents are concerned parents, and care about my health. I did have a part time under the table job for a cleaning company for awhile, and I loved it! I was making $10 an hour working 5 hours a day 3 days a week, but unfortunately they just needed a fill in till the woman can come back in the company from her medical leave. I do help out around the house. My mom has a specific way of doing laundry so with that said, she doesn't allow me to do it, because I either put too much soap in or not enough. She's picky about laundry. I clean the house though and I clean the bathroom alot. I do help around the house, and my parents agree to this, I did NOT demand this in any way shape or form for them to give me money, and to support me like they do. That is all their choice. However, my parents are educated people and they sat down and said "Ok, well if you want a full time job, let's figure out if you would still be ok with your medical and still have money for food and pocket money." I agreed, and we figured it all out and it wouldn't be worth it because all of my money would be going to medications and doctor visits. Bare in mind, my medications are $400 without insurance, and luckily because of my medical assistance it's $3. I have severe stomach acid GERD that i almost puke everyday and sometimes do. 1/3 of my whole stomach is red and I have to get another endoscopy in 6 months to see if the regimen of my medications are working and making my stomach less inflamed.

 

I, however am able to go to school and able to work, but it's just not worth it due to my issues and my ongoing problem of IBS I had since I was child. So please stop with the ignorance. My parents are looking out for my welfare. They don't want me to be even more stressed out and have more problems by me struggling with a full time job and college. They are trying to keep my stress levels down as much as possible. I still contribute to myself though even through selling things. My parents aren't rich either, so whoever said that is dumb. But once again you all have it wrong. I am not some spoiled little bitch, I help out with cleaning, dishes, and I go to school full time, and try to make an income for myself till I can find another under the table job along with my schooling. So get that straight. I am tired of these ignorant comments. School is work, you don't stop. When you work, and you're done for the day, you're done. When you go to school you're never done. You have homework, studying, tutoring, etc. So stop with the BS on "School isn't work" it is. Especially if you are going into the medical field, it's pretty damn hard. I am tired of this ignorance. Disgusting!

 

I am tired of you calling people rude, ignorant and disgusting.

 

Get that chip off your shoulder.

And by the way: GERD? Is that it? Acid reflux.

 

My ex bf from many year ago had a hernia which meant part of his stomach was in his chest cavity as it had protruded through his diaphragm. He coughed all the time, had to sleep propped up because of it or he would suffer with pain and bad sickness every time he ate.

 

He made it through medical school and he managed as new doctor like that.

 

Dont use GERD as an excuse.

Thread closed, hopefully the thread starter got some advice on this thread she can use, closing it is the best option at this point since many of the posts are just slinging mud and that is coming from both the thread starter and some of the posters.
