    She is entitled to sign on. She is an adult in the eyes of the law, why should her mother provide everything even money for nights out when she cannot be bothered to sign on??? You want to try being a single parent in this situation, i for one have been there!


    1. She lost her job through no fault of her own
    2. She is looking for work hence the waiting of a reply from next
    3. Who said she was having nights out, i read going out with friends and maybe she's using her savings
    4. Its been less than a month
    5. Yes it is a big bad world out there but if her mom doesn't cut her some slack than who will!
    6. As a single girl with no dependents she will get almost nothing of the state and will have to wait along time for it and good for her for not trying to milk us tax payers

    Update:
    She started a job today!!!!!!! Only a local shoe shop (Posh ones tho, Hush puppies and Start-rites!) But it's a job, it's money, and she feels better in herself.
    Thanks to everyone for your support, great people on MSE!

    That's great news!

    My Mam got a part time job in a shoe shop fitting Clarks childrens shoes, when me and my brother were children. She eventually made her way up to Assistant Manager of the branch, so it could pan out long term if she's happy there ;)
    Here I go again on my own....
  • Yay that's fab, I love a happy ending.
