What do you dislike most?

[Seans_mommy123]

What if anything do you dislike the most about being a military spouse? Deployments suck but the thing I hate the most is when my DH is home and he has to stay at work for no reason other than someone higher up said they had to. So instead of him getting to spend what little time he does have with his family he sits in an office with a bunch of guys doing nothing.

Hmm what do I hate the most? 
Being at a training unit that doesn't train their own Soldiers to go down range until just a few months before departure. GAH! Seriously they train foreign troops all year long but they dont deploy the company thats going to deploy next until right before they leave. Seriously I want to spend some time with my hubby before he leaves.

I really hate all the dirty looks I get when I going shopping at the commissary from all the retired spouses who bring everyperson in there family with them, but get mad at you if your in there way.

And how when your spouse is deployed they tell you 12 hours before a deployed spouse event is. Hello some of us work or need to find a sitter. But my hubbies 1st Lt called once a month and they got me a small Christmas and V-day gifts. It was really sweet. I even had his commander call me at one point.

I hate the drama some wives start!

I like most aspects. But I agree with a PP, the drama is awful!

Well for me I cant really get upset about his work schedule because since I am prior active duty I understand the reasoning behind it all when he calls and says he wont be home until this time and so forth and why he cant come home early. I dont like it but it's no big deal for us. I  think what I hate the most though is when people assume my DH and I had our child and got married soley for the BAH and for the benifits. They dont know me. I had my own benefits and he was already an E-5 getting his own BAH. And the people that do know us think we were just fooling around on the ship and i accidently got knocked up. No one realized we were actually in love until we got married a year after our daughter was born.

LOL no kidding! I do an ACS playgroup twice a month and I swear my head spins while I am there. But it seems to be mostly the wives that live on post together. I LOVE my Army wife friends but I would not be able to live on post!

My biggest thing is I have friends whose hubbies ranks go from E-4 to LTC and with the holidays coming up we want to have a Christmas party but there is that tension of bringing the husbands in the mix since it will be at someones house.

OMG YES!!! I could go on and on  about some of the drama at our last command..this one has been great cause I dont hang out wiht very many wives, I know 5 or 6 women up here that I hang out with regularly..it keeps the drama away:)

I don't dislike anything really. The deployments of course but one thing I don't like about the Army is the disorganization. That drives me nuts! LOL I'm always telling DH that they should let women run the administrative side of things, it would go a lot smoother!!

I don't like the sleeping alone while he is gone on this deployment. Its lonely, and I never feel like I actually sleep. I haven't had too many problems yet with the unit itself. I haven't really met many in his unit, because he had to travel about 100 miles south for his drill weekends, and I wouldn't go because I had work or other things to do. When I did go with him, I usually visited our friends, who are also Army and National Guard, and we got along great, and I would stay with them.
