What do you think of people that act entitled for WIC?

Question

So I have seen numerous times in mommy groups those moms that are on WIC sit there and complain they have to buy 1-3 cans a month extra that they don't get for free and how could WIC not provide that blah blah. I understand needing WIC That's NOT the issue here mommies that need it and don't lie about income I am so glad that it is available for you. HOWEVER. Why do some women think the government should pay for their child in every aspect? & then complain over $30-$50 a month when you get HUNDREDS for free? Does it not bother anyone else when they complain? I have bought 100% of my child's fomula from birth no assistance. I've never complained I don't have WIC. I just don't get it lol so unappreciative. Again if you're on WIC this is not meant to be a blow at you. I just can't stand when people complain about the government feeding your child for free lol..

Answer

Also, be glad you've never had to complain about not being able to afford to feed your child?

Answer

I don't care if people complain. Hell I complain about the price of formula every time I buy it lol.

Answer

I think it's weird how it's illegal to give your extras to others. Like in our booklet it says to throw it away. Wtf.  But at the same time if you DONT get them, they start limiting what they give you. Like sometimes your usage will change. So these ladies should seek out friends with extras, and make sure they're quiet about it so they don't get faced with fines. Which is ridiculous considering it's food, not drugs for vouchers or something way more illegal 🙄

Answer

It bugs me when they complain about not having money for formula but then are out drinking, getting tattoos ECT ECT ECT.   I was a Mom who received WIC for a long time with my ex husband but thankfully I am now in a better position and do not qualify.

Answer

I didn't even know what WIC was until I went on this app, so I don't have any experience with this issue, but I am going to take the wild guess that they complain because they don't have the extra money to continue to feed their children after the WIC payment runs out, and if you don't feed your child, it starves and dies? Seems like a pretty effing valid reason for complaint and concern, if you ask me!

Answer

I'm not on WIC, nor am I American, but this comes to mind. Never judge someone because you truly don't know how you would react or what you would say if you were in that exact situation.

Answer

This is on the same topic kind of but you know how WIC is so pro breastfeeding? Well when I went to my daughter's 1 year appt there, they were total assholes to me because I was still breastfeeding and kept telling me I should just give her cows milk. Pissed me off.

Answer

I can understand. If your buying 3 cans per month in the very beginning, you'll be buying more at the end when they start providing less. That could cost up to $1000 dollars for the year, when they're already tight on money. $1000 dollars can go a long way. And when breastfeeding is free, it's a big unexpected cost for moms that had planned on breastfeeding. It's frustrating. I'd rather sacrifice the jars of baby food to get more formula, since formula is required up to a year and solids are just for fun until a year. But they won't let that be an option...

Answer

Complaining really isn't always about feeling entitled. I complain about everything 😂 and it's mainly to just get anger out OR I'm making a joke. A lot of the time, I don't actually mind the issue that much. I just complain to comlplain and everyone has the right to do so. So it doesn't bother me 🤷🏻‍♀️

My bff was on WIC for awhile and she would complain about that $50 ish she would need to spend. And then follow it up with laughter. She's joking. "How DARE they not hand me everything I need.! I'm kidding WIC, I love you"

Answer

Sorry what is WIC?
