I am having a difficult time feeding us very healthy- we end up getting no meat or cheeses or anything very expensive and no prepared food
we make alot more than this but several hundred goes to the army to pay a debt, insurance and taxes eat the rest up
I have 2 small children and we are trying real hard
also is there any chance for cheaper insurance?i am pregnant and not looking forward to the 450 incopays when he is born
what about wic? our 8 mo old still drinks formula too
I don’t know the answer to your question, but I wanted to say some positive things to off-set what that spoiled, immature brat just posted. You have every right to raise a family – may God bless you. As for the brat who said he doesn’t get the stuff that he wants because Mom & Dad’s taxes are high – I have a suggestion for him – get a job yourself kid – mow lawns, rake leaves, etc. instead of judging adults who are working hard with bills who know what it’s really like out there – unlike you!
niall_loves_me – Good luck to you! I truly hope you get your answer. May God bless you, your family, including your little one to be!
