A woman who has just given birth is a "bitch"? I'm glad I am not the wife of the person who wrote that. I'm also glad I'm not the wife of someone who thinks priorities are screwed up because a certain treat is desired. As push-presents go (and I hate that concept, don't get me wrong), something from Starbucks seems pretty tame. Let's not forget the point of the post, which is that sometimes paying more is okay because it saves in the long run. Critical thinking is the point, and I don't blame a new dad for being a little dumb right at that moment! Wow. A woman who has just given birth is a “bitch”?

There's no connection between a natural disaster and a new father's desire to make his wife happy. Let's get mad over something we can change. Like...oh, I dunno...Iraq? the national debt? the West's dependence on oil owned by oppressive regimes? the rascals down at City Hall?

This new mother HAD TO HAVE STARBUCKS??? If she was so hungry, couldn't the father get her something to eat at the hospital cafeteria???? What is she, a princess or something? All you had to do was ask the nurse for something to eat and the problem would have been solved. Two hours to get the bitch breakfast? Are they morons or something? Really, Mrs. Mich you waste your own valuable time writing about infantile dribbling. And I just wasted a few minutes reading this nonsense. 100,000 people in Burma have been wiped off the face of the earth and this guy is searching for a short line at a Starbucks??? Morons.

But it's not always that easy to recognize the moment when it’s time to cut our losses :) In case of frazzled father, he had to give up and realize that being frugal sometimes can just stress not save money or time.
