Nothing is free, including 'free shipping'. Get off your entitlement horse and buy one year of prime if you are buying that much crap on amazon.

Thanks for being a mom, but it has jack shiat to do with getting free shipping on an item.

Those women still use disposable diapers? Those monsters! THEY'RE ECO-TERR'ISTS I TELLS YA!!!
 
2012-01-20 11:37:38 AM
You can get almost free shipping by, you know, driving to the store.
 
2012-01-20 11:55:22 AM
When Amazon mom started, I signed up for it and got three months of prime for free.

/What, I have dogs.
 
2012-01-20 12:12:15 PM
Ha, my year of free Prime ended in December - when I got that email, i figured it was just for me. Oh well, I re-upped for Prime anyway.

Fark you fro breeding. You should pay extra for not using cloth diapers and washing them by hand your own self.

it mystifies me that people weigh the pros and cons of children and consistently decide to procreate.

thomps: it mystifies me that people weigh the pros and cons of children and consistently decide to procreate.

There probably isn't a week that goes by where my wife and I don't look at each other and say "God, I'm glad we don't have kids." It's usually in response to watching some sad, broken couple who look like they have permanent headaches engaging in all-out warfare with their children at the grocery store or some other public place.

Because it's so much more difficult to go to Costco and buy them by the bale?

I love how she puts the diaper sizes in her post. No one farking cares what size shiatbags your kid uses.

You're making a big assumption there. How many are actually considering versus "it's what's done" or "it was an accident"?

Amazon prime is totally worth the money. That person needs to STFU and sign up instead of whining about no longer getting their free shipping for the shiat-catchers.
 
2012-01-20 02:10:07 PM
Sign up for Prime. You order three or four things, and you've already started to make up the cost. It's a great deal.

You wanted crotchfruit. You have to pay for crotchfruit. No retailer is here to provide you free products or services just because you pumped out a lump of screaming carbon that does nothing but churn out excrement all day. Hell, since you apparently have the disposable income to afford one of these high-end poop production facilities, you should probably be charged a premium for diapers, food and everything else.

I like this comment:

"So you made the decision to have 2 kids, and you cant afford $79 a year?"

meddleRPI: I love how she puts the diaper sizes in her post. No one farking cares what size shiatbags your kid uses.

she's hoping that if she biatches loud enough on consumerist, amazon will read her post and send her free diapers. from what i can tell, that's basically the whole point of consumerist.
 
2012-01-20 02:12:38 PM
When I got my Kindle Fire I found out that the "free" Amazon Prime you get isn't actually the same Amazon Prime you get when you pay for it.

You can't stream videos with the "free" Prime. You also can't take advantage of the book borrowing thing they have. Probably some other things missing too.

As long as we're not putting words into anyone's mouth.
 
2012-01-20 02:13:35 PM
My god, how many diapers do you NEED that you're ordering that often??? I mean look at this package:

www.groceryshopforfree.com

It says right on the box that it holds 8-15 pounds. I bet your average baby doesn't shiat out more than 5 pounds a week, tops. That diaper should be good for at least 3 weeks at that rate. Seriously, I know kids crap a lot, but if yours is going that much you should maybe be more worried about taking it to a hospital and less about scoring free shipping.

those who weigh the pros and cons sound like responsible people. it's all the other a-holes that muck it all up. it's rare i hear about a planned pregnancy by a married couple who have planned & saved. usually it's very young folks farking up their futures, and the futures of their lil unwanted unplanned.

Never heard "lump of screaming carbon" before. That's got to be worth at least 1.3 internets.

gopher321: Those women still use disposable diapers? Those monsters! THEY'RE ECO-TERR'ISTS I TELLS YA!!!

Sorry, I'm considered pretty crunchy and out there due to my lawn to garden conversion, but I refused to use those diapers.

1) I lived in an apartment with a coin-operated community laundry for most of the time when my kids were in diapers and would have a hard time washing cloth diapers ever day, plus they're communal washers, and clothes don't always get 100% clean the first wash. I'd hate to have someone come in and find diapers that were still slightly soiled

2) It's nasty.

3) Disposables are more convenient.

//I jumped for joy the day our kids were finally potty trained. It was a glorious moment.
 
2012-01-20 02:15:49 PM
Since its a consumerist poster, I assume their child is 5 years old and diapers aren't the real problem.

thomps: it mystifies me that people weigh the pros and cons of children and consistently decide to procreate.

Parenting is a big task and expensive but it is actually quite nice if you like kids and your spouse works with you as a united front. I have three mostly-planned kids (we were planning to have three, but the production timetable moved forward on us), so we're strange like that. I'm jealous of those that get to sleep in and/or rush out the door to work, I will say.

meddleRPI: I love how she puts the diaper sizes in her post. No one farking cares what size shiatbags your kid uses.

Seriously... this post has "stay-at-home mom bored on Facebook" written all over it. Potty train size 5 kid, lady... those "overnight" jobs are a a RIP OFF that delay potty training!

Well actually the sizes did help me ridicule her more...

My vagina has been utterly decimated. My nipples are sore. My husband won't look at me any more. My house smells of sour milk, baby powder and puke.

downstairs: You can get almost free shipping by, you know, driving to the store.

With Amazon, you also get free super saver shipping with certain items if you spend over $25. Every one of the items in her screencap qualify, and the subscribe and save price is only about $1 cheaper on each.

And each is still available for subscribe and save. She could try removing them from her S&S list then readding, or creating a different account...

But no, going on consumerist and biatching is the best route.

Meh. This is going to sound sappy as hell, and I know this isn't the place for this kind of statement, but it's all worth it. It's a lot of hard work, there are a lot of headaches, and it does get stressful, but I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I'm generally a pretty cynical guy by nature but the amount of joy despite all of the difficulties that my son has brought into my life is immeasurable and beyond anything I've ever experienced.

2011 was far and away the best year of my life, and that's 95% attributable to the fact that it was my first full year as a father.

That said, I don't think I'm special, I don't think I deserve special treatment, and I don't think I'm doing the world or anyone other than myself a favor. I don't think having kids is the best or even a good choice for everyone, including a lot of people who have them. But it was the best choice for me. I'm not even really disagreeing with anything you've said here, just offering a different perspective and your post inspired my train of thought.

Gyrfalcon: Because it's so much more difficult to go to Costco and buy them by the bale?

Costco Diapers aren't even the cheapest. Target Brand "Up & Up" Diapers are the cheapest on a cost-per-diaper basis.

And I'm okay with that. If you don't want to procreate, which is a natural instinct, it's probably because your genes are weak and useless. Nature's self-defense to de-evolution

The Homer Tax: Target Brand "Up & Up" Diapers are the cheapest on a cost-per-diaper basis.

That was my assessment as well. Cheaper than Walmart, plus they actually worked better than name brands like Huggies.

Indeed: she's voting with her wallet, sorta, via public shaming. She just wants free stuff via whining... what she needs is some sex. Seriously; parenthood during toddler years is known as the period of lowest marital satisfaction, and thus lowest marital sex.

Indeed; the same can be said of marriages, businesses, college... any major, life-changing event.

Yes, but then we developed society, which is all about forgoing certain natural instincts to encourage mutual progression based on rule of law and common morality.

Happiness is a recent construct, but it is one around which our present society is built. The human race will not die out because I (or someone else) elects to choose happiness over procreation.

Yeah, I've learned through threads like these that every single family with kids is crappy like that, miserable and joyless.

Derigiberble: Amazon prime is totally worth the money. That person needs to STFU and sign up instead of whining about no longer getting their free shipping for the shiat-catchers.

I agree, Prime is almost magical. Heck, my kids convinced me to upgrade a computer on the weekend: first of all, I was surprised by Amazon had a great price on what I needed (no longer needed to go to New Egg or various previously favorite e-stores. So I put in my order for a new motherboard on 7pm Sunday night and by mid-morning the next day it was already delivered (less than 24 hours). For free! I had a similar situation when I was camping -- we needed more flashlights so we hopped on the a Forest Service wireless and ordered them -- by noon the next day they delivered at the campground! I don't know how they even do it with the small stuff -- I'll order a $5 bottle of vitamins and get it within two days.

// I'm worried that there is a lot of child labor and/or illegal immigrants making this possible, because it is mind-boggling how anyone can make a profit with such expedited logistical service.
