A friend of mine has a son who dated a girl and knocked her up so she married her. Her family is a bunch of deadbeats. Now she and he and their kid live with her parents and her sister all in one house. He has a job (interestingly enough at Walmart), but everyone else, including his wife, is on "disability." Getting government money is the family business. Apparently they tried to talk him into letting them try to get him on disability, but he refused. He knows his dad is already unhappy with how things have turned out, he might disown him if he went on disability.
