Before you bite my head off, let me explain.
Explanation 1.) I'm jealous. I actually serve in the military, I'm active duty. I'm also a single mom. I stare at them in envy as I
a.) wake up a 3:45 in the morning to get up in time enough to breastfeed my son, pump milk for him to have for the day, get him and myself dressed, and out the door on time enough to get him to daycare and me to PT. I just wanna keep my baby at home and snuggle with him. :(
b.) come home during the day to get something that I forgot and I hear them in their apartment laughing and joking and having a good time with other military wives. I'm tired from working all day, I just really want a long nap :(
c.) watch them take their small children around to museums and stores during the work day. I wanna spend time like that with my baby. :(
d.) happen to see their spotless homes... Can you come clean mine while I'm at work, it looks like a tornado just been through mine. :(
Explanation 2.) Some of them take advantage of the younger men.
a.) my brother happens to fall in this category. I don't like it, and it's wrong.
b.) I'm sorry but, no man should have to take care of a woman (esp a woman who refuses to work to help pay the bills) plus her 3 kids by 3 different men who happen to be in the military as well (some of these women hop from one soldier to another). If this is you, stop it! Make a life for yourself, you put yourself into this mess, get yourself out. And not at the expense of others.
Explanation 3.) Some try to "wear" their husbands' rank.
a.) No! I don't HAVE to call you ma'am, I do that out of the respect that my MOM taught me.
b.) The military doesn't define you, it's not who you are, it's something that your husband does.
Ok, that is all. I know that some of you are going to hate me or say mean things, but wives, if you are not this type of person, then you should jump on the bandwagon with me to stop these females who give you guys a bad name.

Thank you for all your supportive comments, I was a little down when I made this post. But I want to tell the military wives something. Since being in Korea I really have seen more good than bad and to the ones who really do love their hubbies and are supportive, thank you for being patient with them. I thank my baby everyday (even though he can't understand) for being patient and willing to follow me where ever I go. That is not easy. So thank you for that (the ones that don't fall in my last 2 categories lol).
This is interesting. I wasn't sure what was coming before I opened it. My DH agrees with #2. Most of his buddies who were married got divorced because their wives cheated during deployments.
I love being a military wife but it's not a life for everyone.
I never wear my DH's rank. He worked his ass off to get from the bottom to the top, not me.
I have been with DH since I was 14 and he was 15. So it was way before he joined the service, I'm no "tag chaser" or "Rack Rat."
DH and I both agree that I would be a SAHM to our children because we believe it's important for me to be there for them and his pay is plenty for us to live on. I don't refuse to get a job. (not that you were say I was or anything)
I hate living in a military town surrounded by bitchy military wives. My dh isn't military but might as well be (he's gone for 4-6 months at a time)and I'm here on the homefront with no friends because they don't 'socialize with the civilians'
They are trying to ban buying soda from FS
Do you REGRET having kids
