I hate that people abuse the welfare system because there are people that do need it. I am all for helping someone that really needs it but, this welfare system needs a major overhaul! I work for the state and It pisses me off to no end that the people who are using food stamps at the store are the ones that are rocking the most expensive clothes, they have their hair and nails done and they are driving a 2011 vehicle! Ok. Rant over.
I worked with a guy who would only work 2 days a week for 4 hrs or less because if he worked any more he wouldn't be able to live in his welfare paid for house and get his checks from our government. He was lazy when he did show up and so fat that he had to take breaks every hour. And he called out for half of his shifts he did get.
This is exactly the problem that I am talking about. I also can't stand all of the people that try to draw disability. I have a "brother in law," and i use that term loosely, that is now drawing disability because he was verbally abused as a child... REALLY? This means that you cannot work and support the SIX children that you have brought into this world (one of them being my precious nephew)? So, you live with my mother working two jobs to support you? I promise when the tax refund comes in (from my sister working) the money will be blown on crap! UGHHH! Lazy people are soooo annoying to me!
What is there to be disappointed about? you didnt get the stuff you wanted? take it back and get the stuff you did.
Oh I know one of these. People will get handmade things and thus can't exchange them for something 'cool.' There will be complaining over secondhand items as well.
I know not everyone on the site is all that internet literate. For some reason pregnancy is one of those things that gets people to use a messageboard for the first time.

I'm waiting for DD's "quiet time" to eat a huge bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. I prefer not for her to eat the sugar loaded cereal, but mainly it is because I don't want to share it.

I didn't even mention that before he got fired he asked his girlfriend to marry him because she got pregnant. Now the poor NC tax payers are going to have another mouth to feed...or two if she decides to quit her job at the cracker barrel.

I give the side-eye to those of you who are blanket judging all people who are dependent on welfare because of a handful of anecdotes. It seems quite judgemental and ignorant to me.
Are there people who abuse the system? Sure. However, there are also lots of people who genuinely need the help and are stuck in a very broken system.

You said you hate being behind people in a checkout line who pay with WIC or food stamps. You can tell someone is abusing the system by looking at them?

My husband bought a mini-fridge that locked for our bedroom so that i dont have to go downstairs to get more water at night and to keep some healthy snacks. I really think he just wanted it so he doesnt have to share his snacks with the kids once they are old enough to want them.

I did say I hate being behind them, I didn't judge them for being on welfare... I'm a very impatient person and I don't like having to wait for the cashier to call the manager out to stamp their check and approve their items. I also hate it when people pay with exact change (I'm talking down to the pennies) and wait to fill out their personal checks until after all of their items are rang up.
Being pregnant with multiples has made me really biitchy and generally not tolerant of others' pregnancy whines. When someone complains about RLP, stretching, hip pain, being "so over" pregnancy, etc I just want to scream. In 4 weeks, my fundal height has gone from 24 weeks to 36 weeks. That's right, 12 weeks of growth in 4 weeks. And my ute is already the size that yours will be when you are 36 weeks along. So eat me. I realize that this is completely irrational, but I can't help myself.

Impatience was not the theme that came across in your original post--it sounded as if you were judging them for using WIC. Nor were the early posts about welfare about one person, they targeted a group. Most of the follow up "I know a person who..." posts seemed to be intended to give examples of why the majority of people on public assistance are lazy, taking advantage, etc.

I get what your saying, that's why I felt the need to explain where I was coming from.
IMPO People who are using the welfare system as a stepping stone are fine with me. People who are using the welfare system because they are lazy and want to abuse it and subsequently make it harder on the people who actually need it to get it really piss me off and should be sent to the Borean Tundra naked!
I cant stop eating lately and honestly I dont care! I have been eating everything in sight. I am preg and if I wanna eat like a cow and gain weight that's my problem not yours.

I got the Medela pump for $94 at Target and I don't feel guilty because I flat out told the customer service rep about the price difference. They apologized for the inconvenience and couldn't believe Targets had so much disparity. That being said, if I had personally done one of the other methods, I would have felt guilty.
I don't judge people who aren't married yet...at least they are still together and the poster isn't going through this alone.
My DH and I make more money than most of my family/friends and I asked my aunts that if they insisted on throwing a shower to please put something on the invite that implies "no gifts please". I moved 2000 miles away from everyone so I am happy to have a party (it's an everyone invited type deal...not just women) and celebrate with my family. But they have done so much for me growing up that I am embarrassed by the generosity.

I'm surprised that's still done in places. We're the middle of nowhere and we've already converted to the debit card version. Super fast and super private. Also much harder to sell. Everyone wins.

I think its an option you have when you sign up. Kind of like at work you can choose direct deposit or check.
I'm done talking about showers, all the debating is kinda taking the fun out of it.
Ditto. I've had enough.
Wait until all of the shower disappointment posts start.
::headdesk::
LOL! The next month or so should bring a ton of fun posts.
What is there to be disappointed about? you didnt get the stuff you wanted? take it back and get the stuff you did. the games were dumb? stop being so uptight and just enjoy being with your friends and family. some people dont get that luxury.
I confess that I'm annoyed by people who post pictures of their bump with their shirts pulled up. I'm fairly certain that we get the jist of your situation with your shirt down, but thanks though.
I'm a nurse that works in the ER, and I get extremely annoyed with people who think that they have the right to complain when they have to sit in the waiting room a whole 10 minutes. I understand that waiting sucks, because in all reality, they're probably going to drop dead any minute from their sore throat and sniffles that they just aquired 4 hours prior, but really? Suck it. Also, people who bring their kid in to the ER with a fever, yet fail to medicate them with Tylenol or Motrin need to have their parenting privliges revoked!
I find confess that I find Facebook more annoying than anything, yet I log on every day anyway. People who are constantly quoting the bible (this is especially funny when the person is a giant ahole), famous people, television shows, etc evidently need a hobby. Also the people who literally talk to days of the week get on my nerves. As in "Friday, please go easy on me today because I'm an idiot who talks to days of the week."
I also confess that I don't really get the logic behind making snow ice cream. Maybe it's because I live in a city that has daily air quality index forecasts? I'll stick to my Ben and Jerry's while y'all nosh on your vanilla acid carbon monoxide crunch snow icecream. Gag.

Totally agree! I'm not having twins and I'm sick of all the bitching.

Oh my, i hate when check out people want to have a full on conversation. Its like im sorry that youre bored, but i dont want to be here any more than you do. Or people who change their mind on what they want as the people are scanning it, then have the checker call for something else to be brought up. Mostly I hate when I get in the wrong line at the store!
I'm annoyed at people feeling like showers are a right. Annoyed that people EXPECT people to buy things off their registry. Annoyed that people load their registry with things just to get a free gift. And annoyed that people make a big freaking deal about their shower. FFS.
I am annoyed with the CONSTANT whining about ILs, family, etc. Grow some freaking balls and STAND UP FOR YOURSELF. You are old enough to have a baby, you are old enough to make your needs and wants loud and clear. No, you don't have to be a biitch, but you CAN sit them down and unemotionally explain what your need/want. It is called being a grown up.

A few years ago there was a girl who posted that she was crying because the hostess went with a Winnie the Pooh theme. Shortly before she GBCB'ed she wailed "I hate Pooh!" which still sends me into fits of unbridled laughter.
I judge those Bumpies who have to use use FI or So instead of DH.
Yep, me too.
Glad I'm not the only one. I could never think of a tactful way to say it!
A year ago I may have judged people for this as well. Now that I find myself in this situation I just have to deal with the judgment, I guess. lol. Even the most well laid out plans don't always turn out exactly as thought they would.

OMG, this too! Hellloooo....you knew what your DH's family was like when you married him. And honestly I can't imagine just having as much drama as some of the bumpies. None of me or my sisters have ever had such issues. It really makes me wonder if the ILs are the full part of the problemm.
