Parenting Guru: 10 Things You May Not Know About Military Wives
Should be titled "Spouses," but an interesting read. A lot of those mentioned in the article are things we often discuss here.
Re: Parenting Guru: 10 Things You May Not Know About Military Wives
I'm not a parent, but this one is making me feel a lot better -
1. When a deployment is imminent, we just want it to start. That doesn't mean we want our spouses to leave. We don't. But when the date has been set and our husband's bag is sitting half-packed in the corner of the bedroom, we start getting anxious, worried and a little bit angry. We think about the upcoming months and everything he's going to miss and everything we're going to have to do alone. It's overwhelming. Once they leave, we can start to tackle the challenges one at a time and that's so much easier than the waiting. But those last few weeks before he leaves are wrought with frustration, nervousness and a little fear.
