Re: Helping a military mama in need
And just look at how cute they are in that stroller! *squeal*
My DH missed my LO's delivery. I had, what I consider, major complications. My son was in the NICU (okay, it was only for twelve hours, but still!!), I was really sick. Where's my stuff??? I want my STUFF!!!!!!! I expect, no, I demand that y'all buy cute, full price outfights from BabyGap and coordinating shoes from either Piper Lime or See Kai Run (they must be nice shoes though, puh-lease) in sizes 3T, 4T and 5T.
I am sorry, if I was entered into a contest where the families I was competing against had lost all their belongings in a flood, or were making due with $200/month, I would withdraw. I would be embarrassed to be asking strangers for such generosity when other have greater needs.
I have a bad taste in my mouth now. . . .
I could not agree with this more
I changed my name
I want to know what expenses she incurred. Even on Standard her delivery would be covered.
Also, she was/is a FRO and he is AD so you can not tell me they don't have the money to buy these things.
The more I think about her registry. . . I saved so much money by shopping wisely on AAFES.com. I saved at least 40% and received free delivery (which was rather nice since my muscle was in Iraq).
Even without access to AAFES people can save tons of money online. BRU has been having a cyber sale of at least 20% for nearly a month now.
She's a FRO?!
Oh my giddy aunt. Talk about being out of touch, just what I'd expect from most FROs I've dealt with. Give KC her job!
If he's also an O, I'm going to be really, really disgusted. He's at least a SNCO from the description, so I'm pretty grossed out.
POOF!
Please tell me that isn't a golden oak leaf.
You took all the fun out of it. ::kicks dirt::
That's what I thought. Black rank insignia is generally easy to see on that uniform. I am disgusted at them both.
Her husband was unexpectedly deployed to Afghanistan one month prior to her due date. Her delivery was filled with numerous complications, during which she had no family support over the course of three agonizing days. These complications resulted in a large number of expenses that have prevented her from buying a majority of the baby supplies that she needs.
So, despite the fact that I feel rich now that H is gone (and on far lower base pay), they didn't have any $$ to buy baby supplies.
Yes. These are exactly the people.
It is truly disgusting. She may have had a horrible delivery but it didn't leave them hurting for money so she's lying.
Remember, she can't afford "the supplies she needs." Needs. Needs. My idea of needs in regard to a baby = Sakakawea, yo. A decent baby carrier, a bunting if weather calls for it, something to catch the poop. Anything above and beyond, yeah, even a crib, is a want. Okay, a car seat if you have a car, but even then, not a travel system. That's a want.
23 pairs of shoes, multiple toddler beds, and a whole set of matching furniture for a baby with her own room? Wants.
Yes, and for that, it deserves a convertible crib AND a toddler bed with removable bed rail (accessory sold separately).
Hey, I had my kid 8 weeks early, she spent 5 weeks in the hospital, and my douche of an xh was in between jobs at the time. I would like my backpay stuff for all the trauma I dealt with when I had her!
I have no words.
Missed M/C 11/5/2010 @ 5 weeks, 3 days* D&C 12/3/2010 at 9 weeks, 3 days
That's exactly what it looks like. Be like the rest of us and keep the registries set to private until ya get a BFP, k?
You wouldnt be the first person to write something on the blog about being upset about playing the "military" card. Scroll down below the names of the finalists and you will see a few spouses commented on Holly's case.
BFP #2 02/05/2013 EDD 09/19/2013
Coming in super late. But not one single person reported you for stalking. Not one single person. Seems funny with all the stink people made about it later. Unless they pm'ed someone directly, which I doubt.
I changed my name
I got banned for three days. How did that happen if nobody reported me?
maybe we are not talking about the same thing? the lick stuff? or something else?
I changed my name
I changed my name
I think so, also.
/agree
67/200
this was my first thought when she first came on here.
ZOMG! she took the camera fridge and stroller off? must be completely coincidental
I changed my name
