[quote=Anonymous]Seems weird that the person having this issue is a military spouse. In our military family we talked a lot about how we didn't know exactly when daddy would be home because he was busy helping people but we would all have fun when he did. It's about teaching delayed gratification. We never counted Dow til daddy got home or made calendars because his orders were frequently changed, tours were extended, etc. It's also about you and your kids learning how to live with uncertainty, how to realize you don't control everything and that's okay. Think about what you can control, i.e. we can still have taco tuesday and learn how to swim, etc.[/quote]
