If you're doing so well, then buy what you want at the store and quit worrying about what other people buy, FFS!!!

Quoting kthx.:" Lol. I mean every once in a while as a treat? Sure... everyone deserves a treat. But I see people ... [snip!] ... beef and bagged frozen chicken. But these people can just splurge on whatever they'd like... why the smurf can't I?     "

maybe you should just cashier and not look at how much FS they have...oh, if you want stamps apply..even if you get denied you can request a hearing!

You say you are able to drop 800 a month on groceries..cool....
NOW you say you can leave your child with a relative..
If your child is with a relative and you are working 40 hrs a week, How are you going to nurse for a year???..
That will affect your milk supply even if you pump.
If you stay home, you loose income.....
I am just warning you not trying to trump you and talk down on you.
You need to prepare for all situations..... Nothing is cut, dry and perfect.
You think you have a perfect plan and you are wrong.
I was the same way and it messed me up..I failed to prepare.
Luckily, I secured myself an education and am waiting my youngest to start school before I go. However, I am trained in 3 different job fields and can get work if and when I need to.

Why would anyone who doesn't need FS WANT it?

Quoting Patti.:"       You spend more than I do with a family of 6....3 of which are boys that can out eat me most days. You need to meal plan and budget that smurf better. Thats insane."

This!

Hell when I cashiered, I would mainly watch the screen just to see what was on sale!  

Quoting kthx.:" I can afford steak when I want it. But, since I have to SPEND MY MONEY, I don't feel comfortable spending ... [snip!] ... just fine off of chicken and beef. But noooo... people on FS don't have to pay it, so steak all the time! Smurf budgeting."

 
Really? There's a difference between those abusing the system, and those using it properly. I budget like crazy, go to Sam's Club, WalMart, check unit prices for the best deals, almost always buy store brand- all the things people with FS "never do"  . Not everyone is a stereotype.

WE already have all those things covered and saved for....
So your point is????

Well I'm not sure but she keeps complaining about how much people are spending on FS and upset that she spend $800+ a month on groceries...I don't agree with it but I'm just saying

I complain all the time about people on FS because I have seen REAL poor people and none of them were in the US.

Thank you....That's what I'm saying.

So being a stay home mom, you could with your higher education get a job tomorrow right?

Quoting kthx.:" Every woman can breastfeed (minus those with inverted nipples or something like that... and even then, ... [snip!] ... and your youngest was born before you were my age. I thiiiiink I'm not the one who needs to grow up and mature  "

not every woman! It doesn't even have anything to do with nipples all the time. My SIL wanted to so bad but had no milk supply...She even pumped for a week trying to build one and couldn't even squeeze out half an oz.

If you pay attention to everything. I said I could IF I needed to, (depending) on if one is available. That is why I trained in 3 different fields. I have money put away just in case there is not one available.
