Just want to give all the new wives or girlfriends a little idea of what to expect as a wife!
1.) When the military messes up your pay, don't expect them to fix it as quick as they messed it up.
2.) Don't expect your husband to be there for the birth of your children, pray for him to be alive for the birth of your children.
3.) Don't expect to have any money the day before pay, just make sure you get groceries before then.
4.) Don't expect your husband to come back from Iraq and be the same person he was when he left, let's face it girls he has seen things no human should ever have to.
5.) Don't expect your husband to come home from work in a good mood everyday, chances are he has had to deal with some higher ranking soldier who reamed him for something he didn't do the way he wanted it done. Kiss him and tell him how happy you are to see him.
6.) Don't expect that every military wife is going to be sweet to you, just try to keep in mind she probably just got done getting patches sewn on her hubbys uniform, took the baby to their doctors appt., went to clothing and sales for Pt shirts just to find out they were out of the size she needs, comes home to make brownies for FRG meeting just to realize she is out of milk, goes to get milk, makes brownies, cooks dinner, kisses hubby, feeds him and child, leaves for meeting without brownies, realizes it about 2 mins from being there, goes to get brownies and heads off to the oh so mandatory FRG meeting. Guess what she isn't there with bells on, give her another chance.
7.) Don't expect to have dinner at 5:00 p.m, military men I have learned work late. ALOT!
8.) Don't expect to be with your husband your whole marriage, hope for half.
9.) Don't expect to get settled into any house cause chances are as soon as you get settled you have to move. I moved 5 times in 4 years on the same post!
10.) Don't expect your husband to show his love everyday, he has alot on his mind. Just always love him with everything you have in you even on your bad days. (i.e. #6) Always remember no matter how bad your day was, his was probably worse.
I hope this will help the new wives and girlfriends out there and ladies if you can think of anymore add them.
