active parenting now

October 9th, 2009

Is it too much to deal with a family that parents are on active duty?

My husband was on active duty Marine Corps for 5 years. It now a sergeant. We have a daughter who is almost 2. I try to join the Marines, but my biggest concern is whether it will be very difficult for our daughter and I stayed for the boot camp, and school. We already know that my husband will be deployed at some point, because it Infantry. Any suggestions from people who knew this would be very useful.

I would not – it's quite difficult for my wife when I deploy and is only over the duties of the family (we have four children and am Army). I would not go in the back of deployment and my wife is. I know people who are in the army but have no children and have had the opportunity to deploy together so I have not gone through the separation. And if they made together – Do you plan to know that their son would go? If you have been displaying what her husband can take care of your son? Do you have a good day care in place, because if that happens? One suggestion is for you to wait until your husband goes on his first deployment and see how going for you and make your choice from there.
