That's adult thinking. You're right, if you lived anywhere else you would be expected to pay rent and also pay for child care.
Reapply for food stamps. Let them know that it will be only you eating the food and you and your mom prepare different meals. It can get a little sketchy when you're living with someone because they may think everyone in the house will be eating your food. I've never been on food stamps but I know this is how it worked with a friend and her daughter.
I hope everything works out for you. It's great that you plan to stay in school! That's so important.

You need to reapply back can't see why the state denied you. Not even a little food stamps.  When the child is born you need to put that baby daddy on child support.  Tough love everywhere because mom have bills to pay and the reality is no one wants another person burden. It's just life the way life goes sometimes.

^^ Not true ^^ my friend and my boyfriends mom are both in school and get financial aid through FAFSA and are on welfare. It's probably because you live with your mom and are still considered a dependent

Wanting you to pay rent and for child care isn't money hungry. You live with her so you should be paying her some rent and if you're going to be using her for child care every day or most days she should be paid for that too. You're an adult and paying for bills and expenses on your own is part of being a responsible adult. You might see it differently and think you shouldn't have to pay because that's your mom, but if you wouldn't get free housing or childcare anywhere else so I don't see why you should get it at your mamas house. That's just how the real world works.

It's a little harsh but she probably just wants you to realize that's how the world works. You are an adult. Idk why you would have been denied for cash assistance though. Is it because you live with your mom?
