Unsure what to do

I’m currently living part time with my BD rent free (we are not dating anymore). So I’m able to use the washer and dryer and everything else in the house with no cost. He’ll occasionally pay for my gas and anything else I might need for myself. He also pitches in for baby stuff which is extremely helpful since I’m only working 1-2 days a week. He’s working 2 jobs and i watch the baby full time. I just told him yesterday that I’m receiving food stamps bc I can’t pay for food since I have bills and barley make enough money since im working short shifts 1-2 days a week. He was extremely upset and said I need to get off of welfare immediately. Truthfully bc we aren’t together I don’t ever ask him for money for myself bc if feels like I can’t and it helps me a lot. I know in the future I will have to move out so I need something to fall back on. He plans to claim our daughter on taxes next year which I don’t think will affect him since the gov technically sees me as a single mother living under my moms home. Should I get off welfare and have him purchase all the groceries until I have to move out? My concern is not having food for me and my daughter

Wats wrong with you being on food stamps why he mad I don't get it I'm on food stamps and I stay with my husband and is mom and it doesn't stop him from claiming the kids on his taxes or nothing but is his name on the baby birth certificate

If it is yea get off food stamps it'll effect his check they will try to make him pay child support

Heck no you can sell them stamps or whatever girllll stack yo money! Just don’t bring it up again. Dont let no man tell you to turn down your resources!

@ariele idk where you or she are, but I got stamps and listed my daughters dad sent me x amount of dollars for our daughter as ‘child support’ so they would not go after him. Or if not on the certificate you don’t have to list him with information for them to know who he is. This was back in FL btw

I stay in Michigan

And I def second keeping the stamps. Idk about taxes bc I’ve always claimed my daughter so far, but I’d keep em. If you’re only there part time, let him buy the groceries there and you buy groceries while at your moms for yall. Or just snacks and say your mom got em. I wouldn’t turn down the food stamps nor would I turn down him helping unless he’s the throw it in your face type. Like @Amber said sell em or let em stack up a little at a time (idk how long they’ll rollover) but shoot let em roll until it’s time for your own place and stock your new home babe
