frugal - Did your co-worker wear her Halloween costume tonight? Haha, no, she did not. She wore a baggy sweatshirt and jeans. She's still a little swollen from the birth. Reality seems to be weighing heavily on her, and I kind of feel bad. She was complaining that she needed new jeans, and she found a pair she likes for $15, but she couldn't afford them. She also showed me baby's clothes and told me she need pants and warm jackets for him. It took all my will, but I did NOT offer to buy them for her. I suggested Once Upon a Child, Goodwill, or Wal-mart for cheap pants for baby. He's still pretty tiny, so she can always just wrap him up. She could also cut out the fast food for a few days and afford those jeans, but I didn't point that out.

Stand back. I have a budget, and I know how to use it.

Frugal- As much as it hurt- you made the right decision.

Since he is still small enough to be in the infant carrier she could just get a cover for the carrier. That's what I used with DS (he was born at the end of Sept). I didn't have to worry about wrestling him into any over clothes -- I'd wrap a blanket around him and pop the cover on:

It sounds like unless someone else offers to support her, she's going to keep going back to the rotten husband. It also sounds like her parents don't want her moving back with them, so she is limiting her own options.
Maybe she'll look for a new baby-daddy while she's living with rotten husband - Two can play at that game.
If she's back with the husband, why doesn't she have money for the baby stuff? There must be some back story here that I missed!
