hold up sister, not all somali mens do that firs.
Any man who dont take responsiblity is not a man enough ok. The reason why some mens do this is that they see a free money aight is simple.

Remember when we use to be back home everything was easy and simple nothing to worry about, but now time is change and all we can do is educate this fools that is my opinion.

bye.

Sweetie thank you for bringing this up..4real

I don't understand why men like their wives and children to be on welfare...no all men but 90% of them...including my father. He was working and had good money. I sweer he could of taken care of us but instead he sent us to Toronto so my mother can apply welfare...he just didn't wanna take respensibility for his family like most of other Somali fathers...they are in the Carabta or in the States working and their families are in welfare. I used to be so ashame of myself when i have to go to the principla's office to get paper for my mother because the welfare lady wants it.or we the only people you see on the welfare office are Somali's grown men lined up to get a free check. And most of all people used to laugh at us and call us every name of the book because we're on welfare. Thank god we're not on it no more...cuz we're all grown up and are able to take care of each other. And i'm sure things are getting better and better every day but we should stop taking welfare if we can help it. SOME PEOPLE PREFFER TO BE HOMELESS TO AVOID TAKING WELFARE.

Hey Faynuus

What you can do for us is to call your father and ask him why he did that maype he knows the reason why, is not because he didnt wanted the responsiblity is some other reason.

But hey womens do like taking welfare because they never complain aight and also womens like taking welfare because they can control the home and also she can kick her huspand out becasue she no longer ask him money.
