Pissed

[Desi's_lost]

So my mom gets pissy every time i try and talk about state programs that offer money to get more nutritious food. My family has a REALLY bad habit of buying shit. Not food, just junk. I guess i'm asking for a lot but i'd really like to have real food, not the frozen stuff in a box. They spent sooo much money today on 'groceries' yet we have maybe three dinners. All of which i basically picked out. I dont mind some junk food, but its just ridiculous.
So anyway all i said was the WIC program looked like something i'd be interested in because its specifically for providing nutritious food to pregnant women and young children. She said 'no its not a good program. you dont want it.' all i said was i wouldnt mind having better milk seeing the kind that we have is really high in fat and cholesterol. and she got all pissed off and started yelling at me. I'm like wtf, i'm sorry that i would like to have decent nutrition so that nothing happens to me or the baby. Last time i checked that was what i'm suppose to do, but obviously i'm just a selfish bitch. Seems like thats what everyone calls me about everything regarding the baby.
I just feel so trapped. I cant leave because i dont have a job and the likely hood of getting one at 5 months pregnant is very low, specially today. I have all of 400 hundred dollars for the baby, and no lisense or car. But here i'm made to feel bad all the time and bitched at whenever i ask for anything for the baby. Feel awful. and miserable.

=/ I'm really sorry, that is a really sh*tty deal...

And btw, I'm on WIC and I freaking love it! I consume so much milk my child should have bones of steel! Trust me, it has improved my diet like x10...
If you talked to your mom more about it, and looked up reviews on the WIC program, and showed them to her, she would turn around? You can tell her that it will also help pay for meat and veggies when the baby can eat solid food...and juice. It really does save quite a bit of money.

Hope it helps. =]

Yeah, my mom's actually trying really hard to get me on WIC. It's a great program, maybe she just doesn't know a lot about it and how much it can help.

You definately need good nutrition for you and baby, hopefully you can convince her to at least keep an open mind about it and look into it.

Goodluck, xx

thanks so much guys! Thats a good idea, i'll have to look online. Honestly i can probably get on it myself, it just really bugs me that she's so mean about it. And it makes it really hard cause i have no idea who to call where as she could just call my caseworker from my insurance. (they wont talk to me because i'm not 19 so the insurance is through my mom) I'm not bratty where i expect only the best. i dont mind some junk food i'd just like a happy medium.

totally unrelated but i felt the need to share! So i was bored and made a fb profile for a character from a show...well today i realized FOB doesnt have that blocked! hehe so all i have to do is get a friend of mine who's friends with him on facebook to add it and i'll have a way to contact him if i ever have something that i need to say to him about the baby or anything else really important. Sorry haha it just really made me happy to know i out did him finally.
