Today, my support worker gave me tampons and baby milk powder as part of my food parcel. The only thing is I can't have kids, I don't have kids, and I'm a guy. FML
I agree, your life sucks 474

Put the baby milk powder in hot water or in your coffee for a nutritious drink. Or if you're feeling generous, give the milk powder with the tampons to some women's charity.

Did someone mix up the care packages, or do they take a one-size-fits-all approach? (I really hope it's not the latter.) I feel like you should be able to decline/return the items you can't use so they can be redistributed to people who actually need them. There's no way your support worker doesn't have clients who use tampons or clients with formula-fed or formula-supplemented infants, and blithely handing tampons and formula to a cis man with no kids is both thoughtless and wasteful.
