My husband has been in the Army for almost 10 years. He has served in Iraq twice, he was even one of the first units out there in 2002. He has gone to Korea 3 times. He comes from a very poor family but he is the only one to ever graduate high school, he is the only one who left Detroit to make something of himself, he is the only one working on his getting his Bachelors Degree, and he works harder than anyone I know. Not only is he one of the youngest Senior NCOs on our whole post, he is on his way to officer school.
We have two babies right now and another due in November. So to help us out a little, we applied for WIC. Today was his first day to ever use the WIC checks. Here is how it went:
He went to WalMart, put his things on the belt to pay for them. He said it took a long time for them to ring up his things because it's a bit of a process. But the cashier was nice about it and so was the manager. The young lady behind him however wasn't so nice.
She screamed at him saying that it's "Poor *ss mother f*ckers like you that bring down our economy. You and your f*cking hand outs!! I can't afford gas because of poor people like you! Why can't you people get a job??......" Anyway she went on and on and on. The manager looked at her and said "Mam, you don't need to talk to people like that"
My husband said (he speaks his mind) "Thank you, can someone kick this b*tch out of here?"
So the lady ran up to him and tried to slap him but he ducked down. The people at Wal Mart took her picture and she is now banned from the store.
I can't believe there are people out there who are so rude. I can understand why she would assume we are dirt poor because of the fact that we are on WIC....but why would she keep harassing him like that? We aren't poor at all but the military doesn't pay all that great (why he's applying for officer school) and we live in a very expensive neighborhood. We have two babies and another on the way. We just want to do ALL we can to give our kids everything in the world....even if it means asking for a little help. And it's not like we never help others...we donate all the time, geeze...can't we live comfortable without getting emotionally beat down?

Wow! I can't believe some people act like that. When my husband was active army we always went to the commissary for our WIC stuff. Maybe he won't have any problems there. Good Luck and I hope that something like that never happens again.

I agree with you that this young lady shouldn't say stuff like that. It's rude and very tactless. I have a question though, and NO I AM NOT trying to start anything. You said in your last paragraph that y'all live in a very expensive neighborhood, that you want to live comfortably...Are you trying to live beyond your means and then expecting the government to bail you out by giving you WIC. I understand wanting to give your children all you can. However, are you trying to give too much...are you buying their affection? I suppose I am asking are you teaching your family to do whatever it takes to maintain an image?

Oh hunnie I'm sorry this happened to you. I've been in the Navy for 8 years and 20 months ago right after I had my DD I was using WIC checks to pay for her formula and some old guy behind me made a comment about me taking from the government to pay for my baby. HELLO!~~~I work for the government!!! I was embarrassed, ashamed and I never used WIC again. It just hurt that someone who didn't know me would judge me like that because I don't judge people that I know nothing about. Anyway, I cried for a long time over it. I'm really sensitive if you can't tell. lol I of course was able to buy her enough formula and diapers from my little military paycheck but it was hard at times.
It sounds like your hubby handled it very well! Oh and Happy Independence Day!!! And thank you for doing the hardest job of all being a military wife. I know its not easy! |

Too bad he didn't have her arrested for assault. It would have been within his right.
I think it's disgusting that people assume that all of those who need aid abuse the system. I do know that military pays crap to the enlisted. My hubs was enlisted Coast Guard for seven years. They do offer great benes, but the pay is horrible, considering what these men and women do for their country. |

No, actually we live in a tiny apartment with two rooms, one for me and DH and another for the kids to share, but we live in Northern Virginia (Ft Eustis area) and the cost of living here is very high. We pay almost 1700 for this shoe box apartment! LOL! Its crazy I know. I shop for my clothes at thrift shops and TJ Maxx....and although we DO have two huge cars, it's only because when we first got married, we bought an Explorer for me and my first son, and now that we are on our way to 3 kids, we needed an even bigger vehicle so we have a used Durango.
We are planning on moving on post to get rid of our ridiculous rent but that will be in December so we have a few more months to wait. We used to buy our oldest son gifts every pay day but that has stopped for sure! LOL! I think it's mostly this rent and our gas that hurts us. Quoting limejuno: |

I will answer that for her.. No there arnt trying to live beyond there means.. and I know this.. they live in Virginia where its freaking expensive!!! and there not gonna live in the ghetto where it may be atad cheaper.. I know these ppl personally and no they arent the type to "buy there kids affection" giving your kids all you have can be simply making sure they have enough to eat.. please dont jump to conclusions.

Well I sure hope that God blesses y'all abundantly! Thank you for not taking that question personally! I am glad that your husband is out there fighting for our freedom. Give him a big ole hug from my family to yours. It's ladies like you who have to sacrifice for our freedom! You and your family are amazing!
