[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father was military and overseas many, many times and there were five kids. I was born when he was on a 2nd tour in Viet Nam. My mother had her sister come to help for a week, came home and took care of us when sister left. Both she and my father knew, and accepted, his absence as a part of the life they chose. Grow some balls, OP.[/quote] +1. My mom handled four young kids and a dog with cancerwhile my dad was deployed in Vietnam. No relatives ever helped but she didn't expect them to. [/quote] Your mom had a lot on her plate. She had some sort of help from someone (friends, neighbors, other military wives, church, etc) or she was letting some things slide. [/quote] Some forms of help are so ingrained in life that they're not even regarded as "help" Sort of like Craig T. Nelson (actor) declaring that he never got government help despite going on food stamps.[/quote]
