He and I have...I'm the spouse of an ODSP recipient. He and I have 5 children. <BR/>I was working for two years until the birth of our youngest forced me to quit. I live in a small town, with few good paying jobs. So I took on the position of a chambermaid which paid $8.50 an hour. In spite of working so much that I came home and immediately went to bed, I wasn't coming out ahead at all. After ODSP was done, my pay was dropped to the equivelent of $2.50 an hour. <BR/>After the realization of this hit me, I chose to quit and go back to school through correspondance. When ODSP sent out their questionnaires about spouses working, I couldn't honestly answer the questions because they left no leeway for the answers that my family had. I sent a letter with the questionnaire, explaining our situation. I haven't heard anything since about going to find work, which I assume was their goal...to find those spouses who could be out there working.Monahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378455190255138500noreply@blogger.com
