What exactly is GHETTO?

Hmm, so some of you are asking, What exactly is GHETTO? Well GHETTO is what I consider my husbands, baby momma to be. (now this is strictly my opinion and no one elses!). The reason that I consider her ghetto is, she has 3 kids from 3 different men and all of them are on child support. Now do not get me wrong, I believe that a man AND/OR a women should take care of their child! My husband says that this is a business for her and the other women out there. They do not work and sit around and live off of that child support. But anyway the money is for the daughter but I am sure that she is spending it on her weave and whatever else.

Another thing is she has all kinds of men around their daughter. There were many times when she would drop off/pick up their daughter and there were numerous different men. I mean what kind of role model is that? If you want to put yourself out there like that, okay fine but why bring it around your kids, especially a girl.

She has the nerve to call me because she needs support for their daughter, HELLO, my husband is not here, when he was he was paying the child support every other week like he was supposed to but now that he is not here and her oldest son is now 18, she is down to only one child support check. My thoughts, fight so that he can come back and she can go back to sitting on her ass and collecting that money! Another reason why she is such a great role model for their daughter. I feel as if she is saying, Hey to get rich, live in the projects have about 3 or 4 kids and put the father(s) on child support and you will live the good life! I mean how ghetto is that?

So that is my rant and rave on my husbands baby momma and how GHETTO I feel that she is!!

All I can see is THANK GOD I found this site. This site has helped me tremendously with dealing with my current situation. Yes, we have a lawyer but I wasn't completely knowledgeable with the process! I must say after reading this site it helped me tremendously with composing my HSL. And I also found people that were in the same situation as me, I didn't feel alone anymore!

Being the wife of an "illegal"

For the most part being married to someone who is out of status is not really that difficult. I guess the reason that I say that is because we have not really tried to "evade" the authorities. We applied for benefits and husband was receiving EAD along with SS. We always kept the correct address on file with them. We've always payed our taxes. We have never really needed to "look over our shoulder", as we thought we were doing things the right way, but because they (ICE) was looking for someone else and could not get him they had to take someone in. (At least that is my personal opinion)!
