My mom opened my mail and saw I received an EBT card. She started freaking out saying that "it looks bad" and she said she had never been as angry in her life. She started yelling at me saying it's for poor people. BUT I am poor. I make less than $100 per month. Why is she so angry about ANYTHING. It is my business. The state of Michigan allows individuals who are 23 or older to receive food assistance as long as their household income is below a certain amount. And my household is 1. As after the age of 23, regardless of where you live, your income is your own.

I am really annoyed. She told me she will not allow me to use the card in our town. I hate living with them.

if you're white, it's guilt mostly

>>507451719 (OP)
how long have you been getting it?
also yes don't use it where you live

>>507451719 (OP)
desu......fuck your mother

>>507451719 (OP)
tell the bitch to learn how to cook better or stfu. say what you will about niggers but they grow up eating better than white kids. I remember going next door for food and my mom would get livid, and then turn around and try to feed me green beans.

>>507452619
Ouch.

I wasn't allowed to stay up past 7pm unless I refused to eat food, then I had to sit at the table, until I finished my plate.
I'm now working through the associated eating disorders I now realize I have.
Turns out conditioning yourself to force feed yourself in response to constantly being henpicked at the table over every minor thing also causes side effects.
This is what happens when boomers use food as a weapon to their kids, and grandkids. Two generations of women fucking with people's brains trying to deliberately fuck them up.

Oh, yeah. Not to support Reddit but check out the raised by narcicsts sub and then compare and cross reffrence all other things your mom does, plan and act accordingly.
I too, was not allowed to have mail, a driver's, or even a SIN (required for any job)

Under 18 U.S.C. § 1702 it's a federal crime to open mail not adressed to you. The penalties are severe with up to five (5) years in federal prison for each offence. Call the local postmaster and file a complaint against your mom. Do NOT let this slide. A breach of trust like opening your mail, unpunished, will chart a course for the rest of your life as a door mat. You need to make an example of her so she, and everyone else, knows not to fuck with you.

She doesn't want people she knows seeing her son using an EBT card because it is embarrassing to her and the family, and makes it look like she/they failed to raise you properly/reared a loser son, and people will gossip all around town about her poor, loser family.
Of course, that doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't use it or that her feeling are justified, but there is a level of familial pride/honour that people should try to adhere to. Try not to make your family look like losers (it may cause issues for your siblings or other members of your family, for instance, if you guys get a bad reputation around town).
Are there not ways you could raise your income?

>>507452981
I've never asked one but I'm guessing they don't view food as something to enjoy it's just another part of their bland routine of a life. Boomers are normies on steroids and have no creativity with anything they do. not saying I didn't get affected by it too though. I still like drinking highlife even though it's shitty cheap beer, my dad always had it and would let me drink with him as a teenager. he was actually kind of cool.

>>507451719 (OP)
You cant cure stupid anon. Just agree with her and use it anyway

>>507453700
>Boomers are normies on steroids and have no creativity with anything they do.


Yes. They are.
The same routine down to the minute every day, the same four meals, always potatoes and never rice unless it's minute made.
Also the Sunday spending all day shit talking everyone else.

>>507453700
I was only allowed to drink beer bottoms.
Back in the day they use it as a power move by backwashing and putting out cigarettes in them and giving them to you as a present, and it's a funny game to them.
>I didn't.
Also the family nail clippers (TM), been in the family for generations, can't afford another pair.

It's about using things like (a drink) and (basic sanitary supplies) as a weapon against you, and a carrot they can always remove or alter the conditions of at any time, and if you refuse to play
>The only winning move.
Well suddenly something is wrong with you, so now you deserve it.
Generational trauma is real, but their brains are wired to give them dopamine hits for being a piece of shit to people, and they enjoy it, treat them the exact same way they treat you.

>>507454543
pretty much what I did. after awhile they will want to kick you out if you start providing for yourself and live on your own schedule. I of course felt like the bad guy at the time but then I watched them do it to my cousin years later and was like "why the fuck did they change up like that?" housing him was free and before that my dad complained about having nobody to hang out with after I left. It was my mom. women in general. Like all normies they are obsessed with what people will think. that's why I don't go to church anymore.

>>507452619
I know that feel. I grew up in a Carolina and I didn't know it wasn't common to have a roach at the table until I was about 5 or 6. Practically saw them as pets. I'd never admit it but now I live alone and sometimes if I see a roach on my little bistro, I'll slide a little plate over to it like my brothers and I used to. They're not so bad if you were raised like I was, some of them have a personality almost.

>>507452240
>don't use it where you live

Why?

>>507455447
rats are a bit unsettling but mice are okay, they wont bother you. a rat will straight up climb on you while you're sleeping and nibble on you. I used to live in a loft for 200 a month and I would Clint Eastwood at least 4 a night with a pellet pistol. then I got a cat and he eventually started killing them but I had to make him. fucking lazy bastard went without food for a week before he finally nutted up and did his job.

>>507453648
Your quick to judge buddy. And out of touch. Nothing wrong with a EBT card in 2025. People are hurting including us whites. A EBT card looks just like a regular card or credit card. You can't tell the difference. And in some towns it's seen as cool to have because if you see a friend, you can always offer to buy him something if he's short for the week. Or if you are on the dating scene doesn't hurt. Always surprises me white people try to make our own feel bad. Wasn't us who put us here. World coming to an end anyhow. What do you care for?

in typical boomer fashion, your.mother only cares about what you do because it will effect her negatively by making her look poor, or look like a uncaring mother because she won't share her wealth with her kid.
My Mom was pissed at me when I up and moved to Texas. She was renting my wife and I her condo, so we could afford to live by our family. Suddenly she decides that she wants to raise the rent by 800 a month. I tell her that's absurd to just randomly do.
>>>"well anon, I could be getting way more money per month if someone else rented my condo, you're so lucky that I am doing this for you, etc etc"

We didn't say shit. Just packed up and moved 5 states away. The family felt hurt and confused on why we left.
I sent anyone who asked screen shots of that text, and I said I won't be bullied and emotionally abused. We had a kid less than 1 year later. All the family is so mad because the only ones who see him are the ones who will travel to visit.
My Dad is going to move out here when he retires in a year. My stupid bitch Mom can stay back there with her Jewish husband and be a old loanly cunt who never meets her grandson

>>507451719 (OP)
it's just typical woman behaviour, they're more worried about appearances than results
remember those early 20th century surveys where women said they'd rather their husbands and sons die in war than be known as "cowards" for dodging the draft because then they'd be known as "a woman that married/raised a coward"? that should tell you enough about what women really care about

>>507452981
my parents always wanted me to finish my plate and have extra pieces of meat pr a extra burger, whatever.
I was praised for how much I could eat.
I am now almost 350 lbs. I can't get addicted to anything else. I have tried cigs, drugs, booze, walking, working out, meal planning.
I am a crack head for food. I love snacks and flavored drinks. I,cannot stop.
I am seriously thinking about hypnotism. but I am scared of those implications

>>507455679
cat piss keeps them away. let the cat box get nice and pissy and then when it dries out, get the poop out of the sand and then use the sand in areas where you think they're coming in. Just dump a little in front of the opening or whatever.
it does work, not forever but it works. in the garden too. not in the soil, but the boundary of the garden

Did you lie to the state of Michigan, boy?
Your mom is angry and wants you to not use it coz she knows what will happen once the state finds out.

>>507456982
I noticed that, mostly because I managed to find the one cat who was too dumb to consistently use the litter box. lol. I still have him. hes retarded. runs into the wall when he has the zoomies. gf thinks its cute but I just pull a Hank hill and I'm like "that boi ain't right"

Hey you raised in the south too? I could have written this about my own experiences. Never heard of food at the family table described as a weapon before. My mom gave me and two of my three brothers to my dad's sister when I was around 8 or 9, I don't really know the dates like most people would because no one bothered saving anything, I only have two pictures from when I was a kid of me and it's at some lake and not even that close. My mom would just put out things to make sandwiches on our table but sometimes the shit didn't even match like this marshmellow peanut butter shit with ham and sprouts. My aunt had more money or what me and my bros thought was money back then at first I was pretty excited or relieved I should say but then it quickly turned kinda bad also because seeing how I had never had different foods kinda like you when I liked something that's what I wanted. It made my happy but it made her mad. So instead of explaining to me and youngest brother why people didn't eat the same things she would make me all of something at one sitting. The worst time was waffles because she made me sit there and eat half a bag, she warmed them up in the microwave then put them in the bag and made me eat all of them with no syrup or butter or preserves she made. Something about eating out a freezer bag made me so angry like I was lower than an animal or like I was an animal from outside that got into the food. Started doing cleaning products and shit to ease the pain, sure I missed my mom too before we found out she killed herself.

There are a lot of jobs that ask if you have ever received food stamps and such. So, that may be why she is pissed, because even when you get on your feet it will stick with you. Unless you lie on the application, but idk if background checks will hold that info. Tell her to feed you better and you'll toss it.

I am white and I do not accept charity but I do take money from the so called government because they don't give damn about our people and I don't give one fuck about so called white people from Harvard or Yale. I don't consider them white they are traitors that wouldn't last a day in the country or in the schools I attended and I attended quite a few. All of them were broker than broke and now I see ads for the lottery, whites buying tickets like they're drugs or smokes all of this money goes to education? Bullshit nigger. Bull fucking shit. Why shouldn't all of us have EBT cards if we're struggling? Hell if you were born here and your grandparents were maybe we should all have them because illegals get free healthcare nigger and many of them have free brand new cars from our so called government.

>>507456035
I am clean but I am poor. My soul is also clean. If you are in the house then she didn't do a good enough job no offense though

>>507458019
The whole thread is bullshit.
If he lives with parentsn, his household is at least 3 if he has no siblings.

Also no state will give you anything including food stamps solely on your word. They will send someone to check where you live and with whom with to estimate how poor you are and whether or not you qualify for food stamps and so on.

>>507459160
Verification of eligibility costs the state more money in overhead in many cases.

>>507455867
I don't think there's anything inherently wrong with people using an EBT card (and I wasn't aware they're indistinguishable from a credit card), but reputation is something that's important, and I do think that the 'who cares what anybody else thinks?' attitude is a bit too for down the individualistic pipeline. I'd have been on board ten years ago, but now I have a bit more wisdom regarding human behaviour and character, and I do see the benefits of a society that isn't as vehemently individualistic as we in the West have become.
So yes, I don't think it's great to pour scorn on someone who is using EBT, I do understand the more traditional, societal perspective that older generations can have (even if most of them sold us out).
There's probably a compromise OP can come to where he only shops in shops that aren't too local or who have cashiers who aren't his mother's friend's kid, say.

lol are you fat?
are you hiding food, too?

I'm always open to the idea of getting some of your taxes back. A family member of mine was on a type of welfare whilst looking after another relative of mine, and I was happy to see my taxes going to actually help someone close to me for once, instead of people imported to undermine social cohesion.

>>507452981

don’t try to stop the cycle, just be aware of that deep down feeling as you travel along it. in fact, feel free to indulge it to provoke those feelings, the more deeply you feel them the less they control you

after 18 you are household of one as their parent cant claim them as dependents on taxes (unless they have a disability), so he didnt lie. its perfectly legal. you should prob learn the laws of the country you speak on,... and hopefully you dont live there else thats a bad look you uneducated dolt.

yes 100%, same boat + know other that did what he did + i asked a DHS worker about it, just make sure you dont "share" any food it is all for your household (household of 1) so dont tell them you are sharing food.... or they cut off your EBT, but its fine to live with parents or anyone and be a household of one on EBT. perfectly legal in most states. surew there many be a few outlier states. but the majority this is how it works.

>>507457272
this is a possibility too
OP could be committing welfare fraud
