Guess what? Webster's dictionary has just announced what the new words for 2010 will be and "Diaper Need" is one of them!

Break out the violins for Kristina. So she lost her job at 12 weeks because her pignancy was medically taxing. Hubs lost his job a short time later.
Perhaps this is the universe telling you that this is not the time to have babies.

I think that it is offensive that you assume that there were things that we could have done differently to avoid this issue.

After reading most of the posts, i am a little upset. We are one of those families who do find it difficult to afford formula and diapers for our little man. We did have a good savings account when we found out that we were expecting him; however, everything fell apart after that. I was placed on sick leave from work at 12 weeks pregnant and my husband was layed off due to the cutbacks. He did find work but it was a minimum wage job and difficult to keep up with my medical expences and our normal bills such as rent and food.
We moved into a cheaper apartment and sold off most of our stuff just to keep afloat. We dont have all of these fancy and expencive things that some of you assume we do. I think that it is offensive that you assume that there were things that we could have done differently to avoid this issue.
We wanted to use cloth diapers however as we live in a small community we need to travel 3 hours to the nearest city (and we have no car) to purchase them (which is not cheap) and then pay to use the laundry matt do clean them daily.
We are making it through at this point and looking for things to get better but we have to decide if we eat or keep our little man in diapers and fed. you can guess which one wins out, He does!
A. Why the hell are you on a childfree site?
B. If you have time to read the forums and respond, you have time to search monster.com and apply for a job so you can afford diapers and formula
C. If you have the internet to browse a childfree forum (all while not being childfree) you can go online and BUY cloth diapers.

What's cheaper, a few cloth diapers that can be reused, or buying pack after pack of disposables?
You don't have to go the the "laundry matt." Heard of a sink?

If this post wasn't immediately flayed alive by the regulars, then I truly wonder about the purpose of TCFL.

Kim, what did these people go into debt for? Plasma TVs? Oh, let me guess they ran up the MasterCard buying all those Pampers and Huggies. Probably not once would they think of using the Home Depot card and spending maybe 500 on the Admiral Washer and Dryer. Besides, why don't they get diapers when the have the "shower"?

I am NOT buying that this moo-cunt has to drive THREE HOURS to get to any city or town that has a store that sells diapers. Where does she live, in a remote Ukranian village? Even in rural areas like where I live diapers can be bought within a 30 minute drive in any given direction. Besides, in this day and age, WHO lives anywhere with a baybee that it takes THREE HOURS to get to civilization? If she is in such a remote area that the nearest store is THREE HOURS AWAY, where is the kyd gonna go to school? Why do impoverished breeders always NOT have cars or other reliable transportation, always live soooooooo far out that it takes a weeks pay to buy gas, and NOT stock up on necessities BEFORE they shit loaves?
NEVER have I seen so many hard luck stories where everything "goes wrong", through no fault of their own, after people spawn.They lose their jobs due to the economy, get tragic illnesses and can't work, their cars break down, they get evicted for NO REASON by mean landlords, their furniture gets repossessed by Rent A Center because they missed ONE payment, the bank messes up their accounts and take all of their money in overdraft fees, their credit gets ruined because they went over their limits due to the credit card companies overcharging them, their trailers get blown away in tornados(every year), their houses burn down, their power gets shut off, their friends steal their money, the social security administration is "holding their money" even though they are disabled, they got hurt on the job and worker's comp won't pay because somebody lied and said that they were drunk, they lost their license because of the 3 DUI's that they got because the cops were out to get them, on and on and on and on.

And apparently she makes no connection between her supposed remote-from-civilization dwelling and her family's bleak job prospects. Though it would seem to me that if one were in a position to take delivery of donated diapers, unless said handouts arrive via sled-dog or possum-train or some such, that she also could just as readily take delivery of a set of cloth diapers ordered over the Internet. And surely in a rural location, those big white five-gallon buckets are ubiquitous -- two or three could serve as soaking and washing vessels, thus eliminating the need for a "lawndry-matt."
Or surely there is some kindly neighbor person who would let moo use her washer and dryer in exchange for four to six hours of house cleaning or yard work a week? Or some other creative way to keep the little man in non-begged items that parents at minimum should be able to provide if they choose to procreate. Of course that would necessitate the moo getting her ass up from behind the computer and actually out in the world looking for a way to solve her own problems instead of standing there with the rest of the shiftless, one pudgy paw on her laptop mouse, the other held out to us for more largesse.
It's not Diaper Need, it's Diaper Negligence.
