Hun for ctb you should get 200$/month automatically unless you go on welfare which then you only get enough to cover your rent go back to school and daycare...

Talk to a social worker at ontario works I thing they call it now or call 1-800-o-canada for info on your nearest center...

Worst case condition I could possibly help you out but thats a different story and I know ur trying to be independant..

I was talking with my friend who just had her baby 4 weeks ago who also lives here (in manitoba) and she said she gets about 900 a month (which she can get until the child is 5), and it's not like she's living on her own and paying rent. She's living with her parents... So I thought that seemed like a huge amount and that I probably wouldn't get something like that in ontario. I would be living with my mom but she doesn't make much at all... I'ld like as little help from erik as possible. I've been looking for sites with information on ontario benefits but i'm finding nothing... I don't think I could do much on 200 as I would like to go back to school and day care will be a ton. Atleast there is a day care here in manitoba right across from the school I go to that is really cheap (like 50 a month) as long as you are a student still in school.

That really sucks girl, being a single parent as I have heard is really freakin' hard.

Not trying to sound like a cow or anything but didn't you get pregnant on purpose? I wish girls would reconsider getting pregnant, and at least wait until they are in a long and stable relationship, and both have good income, other than that I see no point in getting pregnant on purpose, love is blind, and will f*ck you over in so many ways!

I also think it's pretty normal to have problems in your relationship when your pregnant, my friend kirstin is the exact same way, she's was a very hormonal girl and just recently have became normal again haha.

But hey, remember not to have anyone negative around your baby, and you too since your pregnant and all. Stress isn't good for you or the baby so anytime your man makes you mad, ignore him and imagine cutting off his weiner because it'll make you feel so much better.

Yes, i'm rambling.

No I did not.




Anyways, anyone else with money advice please?

I have two friends who are single parents both recieving 850 and their rent being 800 thats what I meant by cutting it close, now ctb on low income salary ranges actually 250 a month.

If you are working you would also qualify for daycare and maybe special housing for teen moms like one of my friends and therefore she has more money to spend a month...Shes paying 525$/month for rent daycare is absolutly free and shes making 1100$/month working/school as a teen mom there are so many more advantages for being a teen mom in ontario

not what I heard....

cool?


Anyone else with any info on the actual topic?

The child tax is a canadian run child tax so it won't depend on your province. If you are a single mother and have low income, your child tax will probably be at the maximum (which is 250 I believe). And I don't know if ontario has this.. But in manitoba, you can get 80 dollars a month while you are pregnant. I got it up until the last month I was pregnant.

Also, there is the universal child benefit now available to you. You can get 1200 a year per child. That will come after your child is born (its also federal so it doesn't matter what province you are in).

You can qualify for gst refund since you will now have a baby, which could be about 150 every 4 months. When the baby is born, they will give you forms ( both in manitoba and ontario) to fill out the child tax, universal benefit and the gst refund.

I'm not sure what else ontario could offer, tho I know here in my city, you can get an automatic credit in highschool for being pregnant. I got it and that could help you get your education faster so the job market is available to you. Maybe see if the school in ontario has it.

Babyrae you say your city like it's not my city also. :p
i'm in good old thompson, so like at the most 20 minutes away from where you are right now, haha.

there's no need to lie epsecially after you have already said you werent using protection on other topics but edited them.

If you don't use protection and you get pregnant, that is getting pregnant on purpose smart one.



check it out, love.

Heh I moved to ontario I had to wait to get my new health card to fill my prescription I was off bc for like one month. He pulled out and I didn't think one month was enough to get someone pregnant. That was careless but far from on purpose. Thanks for you overly being concerned with what went on with my vagina, i'm flattered. I don't know why you care so much... It's sort of scary. If I ignore you and choose not to respond to you that's obviously not enough, cause you seem to think it is your business.

So how about you explain how your boyfriend got you pregnant with your daughter "without you even knowing". And don't start with the hole in the condom crap if that is what you are going to pull because a little hole wouldn't do that. So unlikely. And any big hole could have been noticed. So tell me how the hell a boy gets you pregnant without you knowing? Since there really isn't any excuse and you are responsible for your own body, it's a bit of a lost cause. But entertain me.

Btw I edited almost everything I posted when that crazy lady was on here reading all my crap, read the dates. I really wanted to actually get advice on the topic but you just couldn't turn away trying to prove something. If I ignored you that should have been enough for you to stay out of it.

And as far as adding in stuff about keeping my baby away from negative people and that it's common to have problems in relationships, I didn't ask your advice on any of that and it annoyed me. It has nothing to do with ontario benefits.

lmao, there's no need to get all defensive, i'm not trying to argue with you.

And actually he's not my boyfriend so obviously you don't know what your talking about. He wanted to get me pregnant, and the hole in the condom don't work? Hahahaha yep your right, it doesn't work thats why I have a daughter, nice.

Since you wanna pull out all the personal crap, which I haven't even done to you. "oh tanya give me a little baby" sound firmiliar? You got pregnant on purpose and admitted it on another topic and now you've got yourself in a sh*t hole.

I wasn't trying to be mean to you at all and you insult me like that. I'm not the one that's going to be a 16 year old mom who is looking for state benefits because her boyfriend got scared & ran away.

Not using protection .P.E.R.I.O.D. And having sex is taking the chance of getting pregnant on purpose. Tell me how the hell you can have sex without a condom and not even think about getting pregnant? A month at that! You're obviously not educated enough to know pregnancy can happen anytime and the pulling out method doesn't work, so you are definitly not educated enough to be raising a baby.

I wasn't trying to fight with you & you get a little attitude and smart off and start talking about my personal life, hah as if yours is so much better.

You weren't trying to start with me yet you kept it going when I brushed it off and made it obvious I didn't want to talk to you? Haha... Right. You don't have your story straight and no that quote doesn't sound familiar haha. And you have had two kids "accidentally" and blame it on another human. Yeah I was careless. Not once was it said "give me a little baby tanya" or did I try. Yet you seem to think you know so much about my life... I don't need advice from someone with two babies. Erik ran off did he? I broke up with him because he got caught by the cops with a stolen car and he's involved with drugs. Once again, think you know everything about my life do you? Boohoo I don't want a guy like that around, that's my business not yours. And i'm not 16. Stop talking to me because you don't know anything about my life and I don't feel like talking to someone who's had two babies who sits around like she knows everything, after she admitted to handling her son while high "it's not like i'm so messed I can't carry him or anything". I'm not grown up enough to take care of a baby? You aren't selfless enough to give up drugs when you have a kid. You aren't grown up enough to drop your attitude. You aren't grown up enough to not assult someone for a few dollars. Clean up your own life because it is far from acceptable before you judge other peoples. Would it kill you to walk away since you don't have any advice i'm looking for? Please dalicia, hearing anything you have to say just makes me tired. Do you live in ontario or know anything about what I was trying to find out? Nope... Thanks though. Bye.

I have never blamed anyone for my 2 kids, I love them both and I am glad I had both of them.

Drugs? You say it as if i'm sniffing things up my nose. Have you ever been high on weed? Have you not been able to perform normal tasks while on it? Because I am fine on it, it makes me relax. Weed grows out of the ground, meth,coke etc has chemicals in it along with everything else. How can you complain to me about weed when there's so much worse than that?


Sandra, how can you not think about getting pregnant when not using protection? It's so freakin' obvious.

I would have rather gotten pregnant twice due from being on the patch & my ex putting a hole in the condom than to know I had sex without protection when I knew I could get pregnant.


My advice to you tanya- you got pregnant on purpose deal with the consequences.

not a debate or anything ;) but cocaine grows out of the ground too.

Haha, so what does he poke holes in condoms ahead of time, then he's putting a already unwrapped condom on his dink and you aren't wondering about it?



Or does he stop right before you are about to, unwrap it, get a needle and poke a hole? The "he got me pregnant without me even knowing" thing is bullsh*t and you know it.

It's the most retarded thing to sit around argueing about since i'm already having a baby and I got pregnant months ago and nothing said now is going to change the past.



The thing about drugs is how the hell will you tell your kid not to start smoking dope? The other thing about kids are you are suppose to want to be a better person because of them. I know i've already changed completely and my baby isn't even here. And once it is I won't think about smoking pot because i'll have a reason to straighten up in every aspect of my life. Where the hell is your self control? Are you going to be okay with it when your son is doing the stuff you do? The drugs, assulting people for money, and going around with a disgusting attitude?



I couldn't imagine having a beautiful baby, something i'ld wanna live as good a life for as I could because of, and then just going and getting high everyday. "gee son you were so important to me I was high while taking care of you everyday." "you were so important to me I did something illegal every day because you didn't make me want to be a better person". If I learnt my mom was on pot every day of her life i'ld be disgusted and think I wasn't important enough for her to change for.


You get what you give in life dalicia and even though I made a mistake by being careless because I thought I could afford to risk it I know i'm a good person and I will do fine and always try to do the right thing. Can you say the same about yourself? Can you go to bed at night thinking "i was high all night while my baby boy needed me" and be settled with "well pot doesn't stop you from performing daily tasks"... Do you consider the care of your son a daily task? Like driving a car, cleaning the kitchen?... Do you feel like a good person after assulting someone? Do you feel like you want your son to be like you? I know i'm a good person atleast. I know I would never for one second think of myself while I have another life depending on me and go smoke up. Please dalicia, this thing called karma, is going to come back to hit you hard one day. I promise you, all the negativity you put out and surround yourself with will come back. And for that I feel really sorry for you.

Jesus dalicia I thought you two were friends, whats this about turning on her and telling her not to be a b*tch and stuff when you're getting in her personal business. Its her business how she got pregnant and no one elses. Im not trying to jump on the bandwagon but this is getting blown way out of porportion and it's stupid. Maybe she didnt expect to have problems with erik when this happened, the point is shes trying to support her child, the benefits are there so why not take the help?

Wheather she got pregnant on purpose or not its nobodys business, she didnt ask for anyone to attack her personal life so that should be dropped.

Not trying to start a fight but maybe if I wouldnt have opened my big mouth none of this would have even be .S.A.I.D!!!

it's easy actually, he wanted me to get pregnant i'd come over to his house us both knowing we'd have sex but i'd always make sure he wore a condom. I'm not sure how he did it but if I would of done it to someone, I would of opened up the condom, sliced the tip off and stuck it back in the wrapper, us knowing we were going to have sex is the reason it didn't dry up. Condoms don't dry up fast, take one out and let it sit.

Brayden will be whoever he wants to be. He's going to do drugs regardless and all I can do is tell him not to do it. Weed isn't a big deal to me. I don't smoke it 24/7 and if brayden decided to try it or do it, i'd rather him do it in our house instead of out with his friends risking the chance of getting into trouble with anything.

Weed doesn't affect how I do things, it doesn't affect me taking care of my son because I am a very good mother, I know that. I clean house, I work 2 jobs and I go to school. I get high once a day and still am able to do my normal daily routine. So smoking doesn't affect me in anyway possible.

I'm not saying your pregnancy was a mistake, I was just asking why you lied and you get all defensive and start talking about my personal life. Ya know? I don't care what you say about me and all my friends love my attitude, online & in real life if you don't like it that's fine. You don't have to talk to me, but when you type to me you can only expect me to reply back.

Brayden has it good, from chris and I both. He gets everything he needs and even tons of stuff he don't. I live in a nice 2 bedroom apartment and have 2 cars. I'm not living off the state but am only doing what I promised brayden when he was in my belly, and that was to do everything for him, that I couldn't for my daughter.

Just because I have a strong opinion & I voice it a lot doesn't make me a bad person, neither does smoking pot. Weed is a herb that you smoke, I don't even smoke ciggs. It's something that I do to relax when brayden is taking a nap, when i'm done with school & work and when my house is spotless.

I wasn't trying to start a fight with you, and I wish you would of told me what you thought of me when we were cool, how bad of a parent I am for smoking weed and etc. People seem to let it all out when there's a misunderstanding. That's what makes me different from you, I won't think bad about someone and not tell them, i'll tell them straight up and wont wait until a fight comes in.

are you kidding me? She started saying things about my personal life first, all I asked if she got pregnant on purpose, and how the hell can you go off and say it's not my business how she got pregnant when you're the stupid b*tch who told me what erik said "ohh tanya give me a little baby" you have a problem with talking about people behind their back.


She lied, thats my problem. She said she didnt get pregnant on purpose when not only did she tell you, but she wrote it on another topic and erased it.

And actually, tanya and I agreed not to argue anymore, we were never friends.
