Your first post

December 12th, 2007

Hi Everyone and welcome to my mumspace. I am still getting to know how to operate this site so bear with me! I am a sigle mum of four and a nanna of two so far. I have been married twice and been through two proerty setltemtn cases, one won, one lost. A lot of experiences to share and support to offer. I know how lonely it can be and how hard it can be to manage on your own.

I am currently being affected by the new welfare to work legislation. I am not happy to be forced to look for work even though my Dr has siad I am unfit.

Please share your stories here and know you will find acceptance and kindness in this group.

Lynn

Im a single mum now to twins aged 8 and struggling with the welfare to work participation.
I to were told by my gp i was unfit to work due to major neurological symptoms i had since the birth of my boys,i have constant dizziness/vertigo and nausea all the time,everyday life is a struggle and now ive got to start work next week cleaning houses,im sitting here crying wondering how im going to work with this illness..on top of all this i have to report to my disability network once a week which is 40 min away and also i have to report to centelink every fortnight which is 25 min away..
Ive got my 2 boys at school and i have no help at all with them as their dad moved over to canada ..how the hell am i going to do all this running around on top of working and looking after my boys..
Im feeling like giving up cuz i just cant cope..if i was 100% well i would love to be working but feeling ill everyday and having to work cuz i have to do it is sheer ridiculous…people have sickies when they feel dizzy and nausea how can they justify making me work with it.
Welfare to work is unfair…of course there are some people out there that should be working but when your doctor states that your unfit for work…YOUR UNFIT !!
I think kids need their mother at home until they are older enough to look after themselves…you read in the newspapers about why kids are out of control these days…well i can give them an answer its because their mothers are out working while the kids are running a muck looking after themselves..single mums need to be with their kids…they have no one else to guide them
so wrong!
