There is not a single person reading this who should not be offended. Not just because someone on government assistance has an ipad and is getting an elective ultrasound that many others who aren't on gov assistance cannot afford, but more so because this person has pretty much declared that she is somehow above working for a living. While the rest of us work through debilitating MS, scrimp and save to be able to afford a few weeks off after the baby is here and deal with the daily stresses of balancing pregnancy, kids and a career, her and her DH have decided that she should just take it easy and not work while all of the rest of us work to pay for her pregnancy. That, more than the ipad or ultrasound, is what truly offends me!
And it should offend every single other person out there who is a tax payer. Heck, it should offend the people who are down on their luck or who are disabled and can't find a job and need government assistance because it is people like her who give those on government assistance a bad rep. Plus, she is taking money away from someone who truly needs it!

Edited because my phone auto corrected dumbass...
honestly, i think it's people like the OP that are causing this country to go directly down the shitter.
this insane sense of entitlement people have blows my mind. it's like when you hear about people parking their mercedes outside their section 8 apartment. sitting there posting from a $500 ipad about how they are considering going on governement assistance. REALLY?!
if you have money for "special luxuries" for yourself, then you should have PLENTY of money to buy the basic necessities covered by WIC.
this thread makes me feel stabby.

PREACH!

Baby #2 due 4/26/16!
With baby on the way, we pinch even more. We dont go out to eat, we dont buy what we dont absolutely need, and we try to budget an extra $50 a paycheck into an account for baby. We aren't buying Christmas presents this year either, and any money my family sends for the holidays is going towards the baby. We didnt even do the Panorama test because it was elective and $150 copay, and we knew that it was money we could save for other important things we needed for baby.
Sorry, but to say that $200 is just extra spending cash seems completely childish and asinine after reading how badly you want out. Wait a few weeks, get the free test, and save that money to better yourselves. Yes, your DH might "want" the elective ultrasound, but growing up means being able to decipher between wants and needs.
Busting out Miss E's "wtf tornado" face for this one.

I'm pretty sure we are beyond reasoning at this point. Not that we were ever there to begin with.

You've been mercilessly flamed for good reason.
Might I refer you back to an old nub post where the OP had an early 3D US...... If that looks like it's worth "your" "hard earned" money, by all means. Get it framed too, they really are quite exquisite.
