Suck It!

Sometimes life seems grand and let's face it sometimes it just purely pisses you off. I am not a fan of the pity party people or the gossip bunch that concentrate on the negative however I am human and certain things get to me.

I was blog hopping yesterday and came across the blog of a 28 year old Army Wife that just plain old pissed me off. I will preface the rest of this post with the fact that I know that everyone has the right to their own opinion and that people will have different takes on certain situations....I can respect that. This lady had the audacity to state that all of the senior wives that were at her base only concentrated on having a bunch of kids, dinner on the table and drinking wine at the FRG meetings....really. How dare you categorize people and put them down for who they are. Firstly I have been in this game all my life. I am an Army Brat and an Army Wife and never ever have I seen anyone or taken part in drinking wine at an FRG meeting. Secondly until you walk a mile in anothers shoes DO NOT judge them for how many children they have or their ability to have or not to have dinner on the table. Every family is different and is made up of habits and tools that make it work. I have many friends that are stay at home Moms and I was a stay at home Mom for three years when the boys were babies.and let me tell you the job isn't a cake walk. Every job whether it be one at work or one within the home has it's own set of hurdles...we as spouses learn to work with them the best we can. It's hard enough being an Army Wife the last thing we need is one of our own belittling us for the choices that we make.

OK...getting that out made me feel a little better. Don't get me wrong I am not saying that all military spouse are angels and are perfect, I'm just saying that we all have our struggles and we all have made choices to live our lives a certain way. Opposition from the outside is a normal occurrence however opposition in your own back yard just SUCKS!
